What was the build month? I'm 0 for 3.
June
but it doesnt matter because i received a June model earlier and it had a dead pixel in the middle of the screen, Can get quite annoying when surfing chrome or typing on Microsoft word with a white background
I believe that, i had two monitors with black pixels, drives you crazy. Sad to think that the June monitors are still having these issues. WTF, does anyone inspect these things?
nice, but I felt even better when I nailed a perfect one on the 1st try
i only paid 598.00 for mine with 1% cash back
proof or it didn't happen, nothing personal
I ask this because those $598 ones were used with defects.
Just got the perfect display from Acer.
I am calling it the Golden child monitor
No dead pixels /stuck, no back light bleed.
Perfect calibration
1200:1
Been through 3 monitors
Wow, that's great! So they redesigned the monitor for you and made it look like something worthy of the high price tag, getting rid of the glossy piano black base and matching chunky bezel, making it matte so it that doesn't permanently reflect what's on the display? That's amazing of them, well done Acer!!
If that's the only thing people can complain about, then yes, this is the perfect monitor. Plastidip your monitor if you want it matte so bad
Of course you look at the screen not the bezel, but it does reflect. There are COUNTLESS complaints of this. If it doesn't bother you, then fine, good for you. The Asus stand that lights up can be turned off btw (as it can on the Swift), and it won't have any more noticeable lag than the Acer... that's nonsense.
the Acer does not reflect anything, plz go troll somewhere else, you are in the wrong place.

How is this trolling? It's a well reported criticism of this monitor, even reviews have mentioned it! It's a bad design, no one in their right mind would dispute this. If it doesn't bother you and isn't a problem, well done. You got it for a very good price so in many respects these issues are largely redundant, because in spite of them, I think it's actually worth what you paid for it. In my country it is twice that price, and it certainly is not worth that.
i like the no glare ,
came from one of the best AH-IPS glossy screens DS270 Yamakasi
Also the whites are white when calibrated.. No greenish white
Just to let everyone know using someones profile will not be 100% perfect. I have calibrated at least 4 of these monitors and all of them had different RGB settings using user D65 or 6500k
I like the picture quality and can deal with a slight backlight bleed or IPS glow. The asus will have the same issues as it will be using the same panel.
I think it will be awhile before any manufacture can top the XB270HU as its the best 2k monitor on the market. maybe in 6 months to a year and i know for a fact asus will have more lag due to the extra HDMI port . I was all about having that extra HDMI port but then i was like well ill just play consoles on my 50" 4k LED vizio which actually has superb blacks better than any computer LED I have seen.
I still stick to my F8500 64" plasma for movies until a cheap 4k OLED is released in the 65" range for 2200.00 . That will be awhile.
Just release OLED computer monitors already
These dam koreans love milking the consumer and the technology to the bitter end. Maybe if Samsung buys AMD out then they will gear their monitors towards gamers .
You can't just assume that having an HDMI input automatically means more input lag. Some of Dell's monitors are delay free despite having multi input. And assuming it does increase input lag, it's still going to be better than the 4k Vizio which is like 17ms? Doubt the PG279Q will be anywhere near that high. I agree with you on pricing though since it's going to carry Asus's ROG branding on it so it'll be at minimum $800 for a monitor that's practically the same exact thing as an Acer
Are you sure there is no backlight bleed? Have you tested it with a totally black image in the dark?
I have a June model and this is what it looks like in that scenario
That's a little overexposed due to being a cellphone camera, but its obvious when playing dark games. Sort of unbearable too. This is on the default brightness setting.
Im wondering if its even worth it to exchange this or if i should just get a refund and forget it. If there is a chance i can really get one with greatly reduced backlight bleed ill go for it otherwise i dont want to waste my time. I got this at a Microcenter an hour away.
Everything else is ok...no dead pixels or dust...just bad backlight bleed
Can anyone speak to the longevity of these monitors? My ROG Swift just broke and I want to replace it with this. Or is there a better alternative now or coming soon? I want an IPS, 120 hz or higher, gsync monitor.
Can't you just RMA it to Asus? Well as for this monitor I have one of the very first batches back in early April and it's still going strong to this day with 10+ hours of usage per day.
Yeah, I'll probably RMA it but at this point, I don't trust ASUS that they'll give me another one that will be problem free. My coworker has had two ASUS monitors that have gone bad and now, mine has gone bad. So, I want to go with a different brand at this point.

Yeah I don't think you can split a hair between Acer and Asus in regards to quality issues. I have read equally daming reports from users of both.
Both the Asus and Acer share the same panel. Hence why many of the same problems exist.

Aside from different processing the two monitors are basically the same and I would expect the upcoming Swift replacement to be in the same boat. At this time only AU Optronics manufactures a 27" IPS 144hz panel.
you got PM
