Edit: Now would also be a good time to point towards the LG 27GL850G, an alternative using an LG Nano IPS panel. The gamma settings in monitors typically adjust the curve itself to a degree rather than simply displacing it left or right. For now I’m really asking myself if I should try to grab another one, or maybe another monitor would swit me better. My Nixeus isn’t soft it’s fine but I could notice the Acer was sharper which I do prefer. If you're really after a G-Sync panel, check out the best G-Sync monitors going. I think I will keep my pre order on the next Acer Nitro because so far it’s the one I liked the most, first time I put it on I felt like WOW this is amazing. Always check or do a forum search for a model number before starting a new thread! Making a big thing about a monitor having ‘good’ or ‘poor’ uniformity isn’t really useful as a reviewer. As for the gamma test, it’s worthless for TN models because their gamma curve is far too viewing angle dependent. It feels it lacks of contrast in White/light grey. And yes in games I don’t notice it, but when it comes to simple browsing I notice it a lot, especially the blue tint wich is eye distracting. but any hint of darkness and your attention is drawn to the bottom left corner. IPS glow : It don’t really bother me much on the unit I received. The new version I think will use the updated M270DAN02.6 and it should be even better as it’s got brighter colours and a sharper picture. I have seen user reports of ‘obvious sharpness issues’ with some units of the Acer models, though, even outside of any particular test.
The speedy element is backed up by a 1ms response time and, while it might not have G-Sync, FreeSync should go a long way to keep your gaming experiences buttery smooth and incredibly enjoyable, no matter what you play. And the other choice would be the AOC C24G1 but I’m afraid of the text sharpness and sharpness overall, there are already customers reviews mentioning that this monitor is blurry and dead pixels issues (as much as 10 dead pixels in one week of use !) Thank you for your answer, and yes I’m not a pro like you but Lim’s Cave mentioned in his review of the ACER XF270HUA that gamma settings were not good too on this model, 1.8 creates unaccurate colors and 2.2/2.4 is too dark, that’s why I suppose it uses the same panel. 27″ is a really nice size and 1440p is very a huge step from 1080p.

I was just expecting from an IPS panel to be uniform, I didn’t perceived a lack of uniformity in colors (I don’t have a keen eye like you say in your reviews ) but unfortunately whites are not good because of these different tints. Possibly better quality control (very unlikely to be worse in that respect). Read our affiliate policy for more info. Uniformity issues with colour temperature as you describe are common. Amazon UK is selling the Acer Nitro VG270 for just £340, which is the joint-lowest it has ever been. Colors are way better than TN of course, to compare with my brother Samsung c27hg70 I think colors are better on the Acer too. Seems that the Dell S2719DGF is affected by this to an extent as well, I’m afraid. I think I’m done with this monitor, anyways I don’t like the sharpness on it, too much uniformity/dead/stuck pixel issues. Sorry, there was a problem saving your cookie preferences. I received my third unit today, and… it came with a green stuck pixel on center right on the screen, visible on dark/black content. “Squint your eyes and move back”. but sometimes it reflects too much the light, especially in dark image content (and especially in the bottom of the screen). (OCN forums). I think it’s really really noticable in a white or grey content, like reading forums website, twitch etc…. As mentioned before, uniformity is way better on the Samsung C27H70, but it has far more BLB. In daylight I hardly notice it, but at night when it's fairly dark in the room it's very noticeable.

Not sure if it will use the same panel it might hopefully it will use the 2.6 either way it will be awesome. Thanks. https://twitter.com/KeithPlaysPC/status/1085150565489934336.
And when I compare to the screen of my old One Plus One phone which has an ips screen, you just can’t compare them. Yeah I was trying so hard to get my hands on a 27EDG I forgot about that. I am no expert when it comes to reviewing panels so this is my "first experience" of it. On the desktop only low works others do nothing. Compared to the other units, this one has a better uniformity, but I notice the top is perfectly white, the bottom has I think a yellowish tint, white appears greyish at the bottom so I’m not sure if it’s yellow tint.
Stuck pixel/dead pixel ? And same as the Acer Nitro, you don’t notice it in games, but in web browsing…. Outside of this issue the monitor is great. I returned it as the ghosting was too strong when using freesync on the XF270HU Abmiidprzx (zero frame) and then I got the Nixeus 27 EDG and it’s awesome. All Nixeus monitors work with Gsync including overdrive and LFC! The gamma settings seems to be better than the previous ones too, set to 2.2 gamma in the OSD it’s not as dark as the previous ones, I only had to go up a little bit in the windows settings. I didn’t observe any issues with sharpness on the ViewSonic XG2703-GS or AOC AG271QCG, but I observed with a trained eye rather than using a flimsy sharpness test. I then found elsewhere with free shipping to Australia.
So I learned what gamma is and how to set it up. I get the glow in the bottom right corner which I've seen a few others mention. Compared to the Acer Nitro I returned : I prefered the image on the Acer, overall way better than my old TN and the Viewsonic, clearer due to high resolution I guess, feels very comfortable to read text on the Acer and image was way sharper in games.
Where possible, these links will automatically direct you to your nearest store. White uniformity and uniformity in general is something we assess in detail in our written reviews. The Nitro VG270 is filled with Acer's gaming monitor pedigree and crams a lot into a its 27-inch screen. I really want to get a good one because my headaches disappeared with this monitor, IPS feels awesome. It’s significantly darker than the rest, feels weird. Lovely crisp display and a great price for 1440p 144Hz. And now maybe the most interesting part : why I returned it ? It seems that regarding 144Hz IPS panels, only the Asus PG279Q passes this sharpness lagom test at 144Hz, and some units of the Acer Predator XB271Hu passes at 144hz, some do not, but passes at 60Hz. The monitor does not pass the gamma test, I don’t know how accurate the lagom gamma test is but the seizure you should expect at 2.2 gamma is completly not at this value on my unit.
Hello everyone, I will start by saying sorry if my english is not very good but I’m french. It’s certainly not impossible, the AUO M240HW01 which the ViewSonic and other 24″ Full HD 144Hz TN models use is prone to some massive gamma variation. First of all, it's an IPS panel offering 1440p max resolution and a refresh rate of 144Hz. It's a good monitor as long as you don't expect deep blacks. Not likely to be cheap and obviously a G-SYNC model instead of FreeSync, but hopefully this panel will be used in other models with FreeSync at some point. It’s regarded as having the best Freesync implementation and I absolutely agree, it’s variable overdrive is awesome.

Overall a good quality monitor for the price, unfortunately it arrived with back light issues.
I received my Viewsonic XG2402 today, so far I can tell : Gamma is too low even at 2.8, or maybe I’m wrong and it’s a story of contrast, or both I don’t know. All was fine at first. Quite a bit of backlight bleeding but in my opinion, it's not that noticeable unless you're actually looking out for it. After viewing product detail pages, look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in. I find it has deeper blacks compared to my brother Samsung c27hg70 monitor, because there is some light bleed on his unit wich destroys blacks imo. Nixeus is releasing anytime early 2019 a new version with slimmer bezel and it will also support Freesync over HDMI. Future US, Inc. 11 West 42nd Street, 15th Floor, It’s completely subjective, depends on viewing distance and how exactly you’re viewing the test. I didn’t noticed it at first when playing battlefield, then i launched League of Legens and wow it was really too dark.
https://4k-monitor.ru/reviews/obzor_acer_nitro_vg270up/. From what you’ve said it sounds like the gamma settings do indeed offer changes that are too extreme, with one setting giving gamma that’s too low (‘washed out’) whereas the next offers gamma that’s too high (‘too deep’). To correctly illustrate what I mean, you can see that in the test of =DEAD+ the russian reviewer here https://4k-monitor.ru/reviews/obzor_acer_nitro_vg270up/ and you can see the blue tint on the right when he talks about the luminance uniformity and shows the white picture. There was a problem. I still think the QC on this monitor is very low, how can they sell this with this problem on the footstand ? Thanks for your answer Adam, I checked again now that I returned again the Acer Nitro VG270UP and my old TN does not pass sharpness test either, but I find the sharpness better on it than on the Acer, and sharpness issue is a thing reported in overclockers forums on the Acer VG270up, as well as the old Acer xf270HUA and again with the new Acer Xv272UP.
So I received a new Acer Nitro today and unfortunately it came with a red stuck pixel this time, on the right side…I feel so unlucky.
I don’t know how to properly describe this in english. Adjustments On The Fly No need to fiddle with buttons.
But it’s much money for a TN panel so… I really don’t know what I will pick next. One of the best 4k gaming monitors for this price point. The Acer VG270U(P) uses the same panel used on some others with a borderless design, including other Acer models including the XF270HUA you mentioned. Their US customers are very lucky as their customer service is great with a 3 year warranty. Thank you for signing up to PC Gamer. Unless a monitor has a guaranteed uniformity spec or an effective uniformity compensation mode (that will come at the expense of contrast), I’m afraid uniformity is always something of a lottery. The 40 quid knocked off (a decent 11% reduction) might not seem like a crazy price slash, but it means that it reaches a low point in its pricing and it really highlights the value and what you get for your money. I also have a Benq XL2730Z with firmware V002 but the overdrive is not variable but you can change the overdrive settings while using freesync. As noted in the review you can use the ‘Black Stabilization’ to further ‘fine-tune’ the gamma on the ViewSonic. Blacks are grey but not too much at 2.8 gamma, colours are a little bit too watched out especially in the bottom of the screen. Merged with existing thread that was literally just a few places down from the thread you started. If you want a high refresh rate IPS-type model you’re going to have to be prepared to swap out units several times to get a sample with good uniformity.
I’m sadly laughing when I think about people who complains about IPS Glow, I don’t care about that or maybe because those screens don’t have much, I just want a brand new monitor with all pixels functionning that’s all I want…. The Nitro VG280K is relatively modest for a 4K display at 28 inches, but it packs a punch. Another thing to add, on the left side of the screen, there is something weird. Review for VG270Ubmiipx 27-inch WQHD My monitor arrived today, everything looked okay, good colour repro, nice and bright, good response, and it sits nicely on my desk.
