Acer Nitro XV282K KVbmiipruzx 28 UHD (3840 x 2160) Agile-Splendor IPS Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium | 144Hz | 1ms | TUV/Eyesafe | 1 Display Port 1.2, 2 HDMI 2.1 & 4 USB Ports

I thought I had decent monitors. Im a programmer and have 4 24 1920 x 1200 dell monitors in both my home and commercial offices. I tried using one for modern warfare 2 on Xbox series x. That was nothing but headaches. So I decided to splurge on a decent gaming monitor.

Pros:

Good size and very clear.

I originally gave this monitor 5 stars, but after a few weeks, I have returned this monitor. I experienced serious flickering with vertical lines, resulting in temporary image retention. I even exchanged the predator xb273u gx (nitro twin) for a new panel and had the same issues.

These are sleeper monitors. Great for gaming and other tasks. AMD freesync if that matters. I dont care about it though. I am running triple monitors on a 2080ti and everything is flawless. Ignore my cable management... Im not done yet...

My only dislike is not buying it sooner

There really isnt anything I dont like. I good solid Gaming Monitor..

The only issues I had were related to auto HDR, its best to just leave hdr on, but that issue may be tied to the xbox series x specifically.

I use this for Xbox series X to get 4k@120hz with the HDMI 2.1 ports. I was then pleasantly surprised by the other features. I also use this for work and now with DP ALT support, I run my laptop with a SINGLE USB C connection to this monitor. The monitor supports PD (power delivery, so I do not even use the laptops power brick any more) over this USB C and supports DP for video. It cleaned up my desk by removing a bunch of unnecessarily cables. On top of that, it has a built in KVM switch where you can use all 4 USB ports on the monitor and share those accessories with two devices. As an example my keyboard and mouse connect to my monitor but I can use them with my laptop over the USB C port, and use them with my Xbox with an included USB adapter. I do not game with keyboard and mouse but the functionality is still pretty neat.

I bought new hubs and hdmi-usb-c to troubleshoot why my Mac wasnt displaying proper colours. I got one to work but the picture isnt nearly as nice as my Lenovo direct HDMI connection. Since my Mac is my daily driver, I continue to tinker with settings but it looks like this might have to go back unfortunately. PS5/XBOX looks absolutely amazing on this monitor, but I need it to perform well for my day to day needs on the Mac too.
