Acer Nitro XV272U Xbmiipruzx 27"" WQHD (2560 x 1440) Agile-Splendor IPS Monitor, AMD Radeon FREESYNC (Renewed)

This product is amazing. Going from a 144hz VA curved screen to this was a lot more than I expected.Refresh:144hz to 240hz isn't as intense as going from 30hz to 60hz, or 60 to 144, but the difference is still there. At 240hz, I can read text while scrolling or otherwise moving. And everything is just a little more clear and smooth. One thing I want to mention is the amazing response time. While acer put in a .5ms extreme mode for marketing, the normal overdrive works best, as the extreme produces clear inverse ghosting. However, the normal overdrive is more than enough to nearly remove ghosting and other artifacts.Color:VA to IPS was a nice upgrade. The HDR mode doesn't really seem to do much, but if you have decent color vision, you'll notice more saturated colors.Resolution:1440p is a nice upgrade from 1080p, and with everything else, made images a lot sharper and clearer. The screen has a very thin plastic bezel, but doesn't actually go to the edge. It has a 1/4" black edge on the sides and top of the screen where the display stops and the screen cover continues.Other:Going from a curved panel, my eyes took a day or two to adjust to the flat panel.This screen has a pretty bright backlight, so it won't be nice on your eyes if you like to play in the dark. Definitely a daytime/bright panel.It has a dedicated power button, which I appreciate coming from a monitor with only the menu widget thing.The renewal packaging was very minimal, which I dont really mind, since I dont really plan on using it for anything except a possible return.Major con:This panel, along with other acer monitors, suffers from some defect which causes white bands to flicker across the screen when using the displayport input. I believe this is caused by a poor quality DisplayPort cable. Make sure you have a quality DP 1.4 cable, and update any older video cards to support DP 1.4.I will update once I get a new cable.

This is hands down one of the best 1440p 27" 240 hz monitors on the market right now. Hands down beats the DELL 2721D by a mile. Is infinitely more configurable settings wise. The motion clarity on this monitors the best for an IPS panel i have ever seen. It still doesn't beat a TN/OLED panel in terms of absolute clarity but its very hard to tell the difference.Great color, great brightness, great contrast (+1000-1200:1 easy). HDR is crap as always, but not necessary. 240 HZ looks amazing if you can push it. Literally the only issue w/ this monitor is the anti glare coating (-1 on picture quality for me) isn't glossy, and is more matte, which reduces crispness a bit. No grainy image at all. Nice and clean looking. Most people wont have a problem with it.Highly recommended.

So far so good. Figured ID save like $80 and get a certified pre owned and so far I'm gld I did. Screen came a little dirty, and I had to tinker with the picture, but it looks really nice paired with my 3090
