#Acer xg270hu review Pc#Sitting head-on presents no issues but if you’re going to have spectators, those sitting on the edges will have some colour distortions to contend with.Ģ7 inches is round about the sweet spot for a PC gaming display – you could go bigger but you might as well drop a TV behind your keyboard at that point. Unfortunately this Acer uses a TN panel, not exactly known for its stellar view angles. ![]() The 27-inch screen features a 2,560 x 1,440 native resolution and a blistering 1ms response time, both of which are a dream for gamers looking to test out their GPU’s chops. It’ll do for high-end gaming, certainly, provided you’re secure enough in your setup to just leave it where it is. Unless you’re using still VGA but then, that would make a QHD monitor pointless. I’ve seen similar screens that offer a greater number of each port but at least the XG ticks all the major boxes. There’s one HDMI, DisplayPort and DVI port at the rear, along with a headphone jack so you can dispense with speakers and just plug in your battle-communicator directly. Not ideal.Īnd your input options are also pretty limited. You can angle the display (on the vertical axis, anyway) but setting height is out of the question, meaning you need to move your desk to accommodate a preferred screen elevation. The down-side to having something this simple is that you have very little adjustment leeway. ![]() It’s a big frightening, to be honest, as that clip doesn’t seem strong at all. It’s just a matter of screwing the support into the stand, the result just clips to the panel. There are just three components: the stand, the support and the screen. Looks nice though.Įven though the XG270HU has a wobbly stand, said stand – and the whole screen setup – is extremely easy to put together. Shame the wobbly stand makes a joke of the panel strength. In spite of its thin profile, it’s pretty sturdy. Acer’s borderless design… works, though it gives the false impression that this screen is kinda flimsy. When it’s active, the black edging is visible but most of what you’re looking at is screen space. ![]() There is a bezel on this screen, but you can’t really see it when the display is powered down. It’d help if you had your hands on a matching case and set of peripherals, of course. The XG279HU is in line with their gaming kit as well, angled edges on the cross-shaped stand, that distinctive orange-ish colour (seriously, what is that? Bronze?) and then the seemingly bezel-less design for the panel all shout ‘gaming’. If they ever start selling that case as a standalone… anyway. Acer’s actually known for their good-looking gaming gear – take a look at the Acer Aspire Predator gaming setup.
