Pros:
Wow. 1440p where have you been all my life? 1080p has had its run, but with smart phones and laptops really pushing the pixels, 1080p was starting to look dated. 1440p on the other hand really is the perfect density of pixels for a 27in desktop monitor. I can't notice pixels at all, which makes the windows desktop experience feel more premium and enjoyable. Gaming is also awesome at this definition, some games REALLY benefit from the higher resolution, BF4 to name one. The color contrast is also welcome, and I like that adjusting my head a bit wont distort the color like on my old TN panel. G-sync is also an amazing technology. I am running this with my 980ti, but even this card on certain games (like GTA5) can run into a few low moments depending on the environment at 1440p. G-sync really makes it so I dont even notice the FPS dipped, which makes for an immersive fluid experience. I also feel as though G-sync will get me an extra year or two out of my card because of how seamless the experience feels at lower FPS.
Cons:
Come nighttime my first day with the monitor, I decided to test for the infamous backlight bleed. Low and behold, I had a bit in the top left, middle, and bottom middle corners of the bezel. The monitor out of the box has the brightness set way too high (at like 60 I believe), so following the owners club advice I decreased brightness to 27. This helped A LOT to diminish the backlight bleed, but I could still notice it a bit on pure black screens which really irked me. Another thing about this monitor, is that it does have a lot of IPS glow; I sit probably a bit too close to it honestly. The optimum viewing distance would be likely 2-3 feet, but I am probably closer to 1.5 feet, where I notice IPS glow on the bottom right corner. I found that angling the monitor a bit up helped diminish this effect.
So Did I return it?
No! Now here is the thing, the backlight bleed is only noticeable in a pitch black room, with a pitch black image displayed on the screen. Playing games, or doing anything in a pitch black room with a monitor like this is terrible for yours eyes, but I still wanted a better solution that leaving the light in my living room.
Enter accent lighting! I bought three RGB led strips that I mounted to the back of the monitor to add accent lighting to the image. Aside from limiting eye strain, having accent lighting also helps increase the contrast of the colors on the screen, and, you guessed it, eliminated any perceivable IPS glow or backlight bleed in a pitch black room. Now, I can have an enjoyable experience with my monitor, in the dark due to my accent lighting. And it looks awesome too! Also, it could be my imagination, but I feel as though the backlight bleed has gotten better over time? Apparently some people on the forums noticed this as well. Either ways, for the price of the monitor, I wish I didn't have this emotional roller coaster and it just worked flawlessly out of the box, which is why it gets 4 stars. Outstanding product with some quirks.

1. eColor mode - User
2. Brightness - 24
3. Contrast - 50
4. Gamma - 2.2
5. Colour Temp - User
6. RGB - 50, 45, 46
7. Gsync - on
8. Overdrive - Normal
9. 144hz
I had great results with these settings. Overdrive was causeing lots of issues on every mode but normal. I had to adjust a few settings in windows to see text in web pages and email better. I made my curser larger and font settings to custom 200% you can do this in the control panel then goto display. The only issue I had is with screen edge bleed, I don't think there should be any with the price of this. And my last issue is with the power switch, it is on the back near the center. You have to reach under and up to turn it on and off. Here is a small tip on putting the stand on the screen. Lay the screen face down then put the stand on. The 2 top prongs go in first then push down. All in all a very nice monitor, I hope it lasts for a long time.
Pros:
1440p/144hz/GSync
IPS/no dead pixels/ nice coating
Good dp cable (although short)
No picture bleed
Cons:
The stand and plastic feels a tad cheap, although nothing terribly flimsy or wobble that affects gameplay.
No 3D vision
Buy with confidence!

Total estuve eligiendo entre el asus PG278Q y este acer XB270HU, confio mucho en asus ya que sus componentes nunca me han dado ningun problema, pero el monitor no me convencio debido a que el panel es TN y si vas a hacer la inversion por algo tan costoso mucho mejor un monitor con panel IPS, y el nuevo asus PG279Q aun no esta disponible nisiquiera en amazon USA con amazon como vendedor,. asi que no habia vuelta de hoja,. tenia que ser el acer, lo tuve en la mira varios meses pensando en comprarlo en usa, pero tuve la sorpresa a mediados de febrero que estaba disponible en la pagina de amazon mexico ya no habia peros.
El envio venia por amazon estados unidos, escogi el envio mas economico y aun asi me parecio muy rapido, lo pedi un jueves y el lunes ya estaba en la aduana de monterrrey, se detuvo en la aduana y se comunicaron conmigo hacerca de unos papeles para liberar el envio, pero todo fue rapido y ese mismo dia lo liberaron para su envio a mi ciudad.
Tengo que admitir que acer no es mi marca de referencia en el segmento gaming, pero los comentarios positivos en las paginas americanas y en youtube me dieron confianza, el paquete venia perfectamente sin muestras de mal manejo, las instrucciones son un poco cutres a la hora de decirte como armarlo pero solo es cuestion de sentido comun.
Es importante mencionar que el monitor no incluye cable Display port, yo pensaba que si venia con el, pero no fue asi y tuve que dejar el monitor guardado un par de dias mas en lo que pedia un cable y llegaba a mi domicilio.
Por fin tuve la oportunidad de conectarlo y realmente probarlo y fue muy impresionante ver la diferencia,. lo primero fue buscarle un wallpaper a la resolucion de 1440p y ver algunos videos en youtube tambien a 1440p y todo se ve increible la verdad mucho mejor de lo que esperaba, sobre todo que los angulos de vision son completos y no hay tantos reflejos de luz como con los otros paneles.
En cuanto a videojuegos el primero con el que lo probe fue the wittcher 3 todo en ultra ssao activo, todo y la verdad es una experiencia mindblowing, los niveles de detalle son increibles, los efectos, particulas, sombras, todo se ve muy bien.
En juegos FPS lo probe con star wars y bf4 y se juega a otro nivel, los detalles en explosiones, luces, todo esta a otro nivel. por el momento lo corro con una sola gtx 980 ti y creo va sobrado de poder.
En general estoy muy satisfecho con el monitor, tenia mis dudas pero Acer se saco un 10 al entrar por la puerta grande al mercado gaming, sobre todo a un precio mas accesible en comparacion a los monitor ROG de Asus,. aun faltan detalles por checar por ejemplo no estoy muy familiarizado como funciona el gsync, pero con el tiempo si surge alto importante actualizo la reseña.
un 10 a amazon mexico por traer a Mexico productos de esta categoria, ir a USA, para que si todo lo puedes pedir desde tu casa en Mexico.

Best monitor I've owned.. so far, no issues/problems. I thought I may have had a light bleed problem, but I've turned down the brightness and that has gone away. I followed Tom's hardware recommended settings, but instead of a brightness in the 50 area, I'm running 36.. looks great.

Admittedly the gloss for stand and bezel is a bit disappointing, but you won't notice it the moment the smooth, clear image with vibrant colour turns on. Your eyes will be hard pressed to look away. Easy to set up, easy to adjust, and easy to calibrate. No crazy gimmicks, just a great monitor. If you can fit this into your budget, I highly recommend it over anything else.

This monitor DOES have MAJOR QA issues, though. Had to return one (dust trapped under the screen, dead pixels, and horrible light bleed) before getting a good (flawless) panel. There is an approximate 1 in 3 RMA rate on these monitors.
If you can afford a thousand dollar monitor and have a system to drive it properly, not to mention you win the panel lottery and get a good panel (expect to have to RMA once or twice), it is literally the best monitor on the market for gaming right now.
