Le doy 4 estrellas solo por echo que no se si el cable displeyport vino defectuoso o es incompatibilidad de mi tarjeta pero es un excelente monitor en los juegos los colores es una locura 08/24/2022 estoy actualizando mi comentario sobre este monitor todo va bien pero cada cierto tiempo pasa que se apaga la pantalla en negro en el juego y tengo que tocar el botón de ajustes para que reviva de nuevo o lo otro es que pierde el brillo se pone opaco hasta que se vuelve a apagar llevo días que no lo hace pero tengan cuidado ya no lo puedo devolver pero es un riesgo que si lo hubiera sabido no lo hubiera comprado habiendo muchos monitores en el mercado y son más de $ 500 vi otro comentario de una persona que le pasa lo mismo y ya veo que no solo es el mío le cambie el cable de corriente y después me lo volvió a hacer por lo demás es un buen monitor solo tengo este problema pero para pagar esa cantidad de dinero deberían pensarlo bien

Update 2/17/18: I found a dead pixel I missed. Going to exchange this for another one. Fingers crossed. Predator 1440p 27 IPS - Amazing monitor! Im not an expert on monitors at all. In fact, ive only bought one other monitor for gaming and it was a much cheaper $200 monitor which this replaced. My previous monitor was a 1ms 60hz 1080p and did what it could very well for its time. I did a lot of research on going to 1440p and what response times, refresh rates and TN vs IPS means. I found most reviews for IPS monitors saying its a roll of the dice since the quality control isnt where it should be, which could result in multiple returns until you got a good monitor. The first monitor i received was perfect out of the box. No dead pixels and I dont see any back light bleed (BLB). Granted im not an expert on monitors, so i could be missing the BLB but i just know i have zero complaints about the picture. I did have to look up best settings because out of the box the picture was clearly wrong and from my research I had learned that I should only use that as a starting point because every monitor is different and each persons perception and preference is different. So I had my starting point and adjusted until everything looks close to perfect for me. My only complaint about the monitor is the controls for the on screen display. They are ok and get the job done, but there is a lot of room for improvement. But since the setup is done, the only time I use those controls is to change my input from DP to HDMI, which isnt as easy as it should be, but it does the job (shouldnt take 4-5 button pushes to change between only two inputs). Pros: Colors - Holy hell do the colors look amazing on IPS, I dont think ill ever willingly go back to TN (just my preference) Refresh rate G-Sync - This is something I wont be able to live without in the future as long as I have NVIDIA GPUs 1440p - I can definitely see the increase in clarity from 1080p Cons: Only 2 inputs Controls - OSD controls are mediocre and annoying to toggle between only 2 inputs If you are buying this for gaming and want to know how my GPU handles the upgrade to 1440. I currently have an MSI GTX 970 (not over-clocked). Games like GTA V, Tomb Raider (2013) and Hitman Absolution look amazing and run at 50-60fps on 1440p and almost maxed out on settings. I tried running Witcher 3 and even had to dial back some graphics settings from the NVIDIA Experience recommended settings to get it to run at 50-60fps. Witcher 3 looks beyond amazing, but I do still get a little stutter when running and turning my character. Ive yet to try anything else, but Im assuming any newer AAA titles might need to have settings lowered or run on 1080p for them to run well. Hoping to upgrade to the next generation of NVIDIA cards once they come out, to really get the benefit of this monitor. Also, I havent played much of my PS4 (launch day version) on this, but the little I did looked great. TLDR: If you are in the market for a 1440p that looks amazing, i would highly recommend this monitor. If you will be switching between inputs multiple times a day though, the controls on this might frustrate you.

Ive been using this as my primary monitor for just over 1 year now, and so far its been fantastic. If youre looking for the color clarity of an IPS panel with only 4ms response lag, then this monitor is a great choice. Perfect for anyone who does both gaming and video/editing. Pros: - IPS is excellent for photo/video editing. Colors are bright and crisp. -144hz refresh and 4ms response is excellent for gaming; butter smooth. - gsync is a plus, although the 144hz makes gsync almost unnecessary. - no dead pixels - thin screen bezel; about 6mm thick from outside edge of monitor to where the pixels start. - sturdy, heavy base with minimal shaking of the screen if I bump the desk. - easily adjustable screen positions, rotations. - the red colored feet on the base base are not as bright/loud as shown in the photo. I was afraid the color would be in-your-face red. Theyre not. Instead, its more of darker maroon color with a muted matte finish. Kinda classy. Hardly noticeable against my dark wood-grained desk. Cons: - $700 price tag can be expensive - built-in speaker sound quality is poor, but at least it has speakers if you dont already have your own. - on-screen display menu system is awkward and frustrating. Not a big concern unless you frequently use the menu to switch between display inputs, for example switching between your PC and gaming console. I took off 1/2 star for this. - rare screen glitch that causes a vertical tear down the center, as if a column of pixels are missing. This as only happened a few times over the past year (maybe 5-6 times), and thankfully its easily fixed by just turning the monitor off/on again. Minor issue but worth a mention. I took off 1/2 star for this as well. Regarding light bleed: I see a lot of 1-star reviews because of light bleed. Does this monitor have light bleed? Yes. Have I ever noticed it? Never. The only time I can see light bleed is if the room is 100% dark and the screen is 100% dark, which is generally when I first turn on the monitor before turning on the PC. As soon as theres any kind of pixel action on the screen, the bleed goes away. Watching dark movies or playing dark space space games, I dont notice anything at all. Would I recommend this monitor? Absolutely. Actually, I want another.

Monitor is a large 32” 4k resolution screen, up to 144htz refresh rate, with 2x hdmi 2.1 ports and a dvi 1.4 port, a good usb-c port, and several usb A ports. I primarily use this for multitasking for work at home but since I have a new PlayStation 5, I needed something to really show off the 4k resolution capabilities of that system so I chose this monitor over the limited few others of 32” size available. This Acer Predator uses the same screen from what I’m told as the cheaper Gigabyte M32U but has more bells and whistles. The only reason I bring this up here in my review is due to there being a lack of reviews for this Acer Predator and the other monitor I mention here has had numerous positive reviews and resides in top 10 lists for its size and abilities, and it uses the exact same screen as this Acer Predator. I also chose this monitor over the Gigabyte M32U because the M32U was not in stock when I was purchasing and this Acer Predator is of a higher quality build to me, it just looks nicer as well. Paying the extra amount was a necessity for work as I needed something very quickly and just didn’t have the option to wait as well. Most other 4k 32” size screens haven’t been rated well and I prefer a flat panel screen which this is for viewing at long times when I extend my laptop monitor to multitask for work. It has plenty of ports to choose from, built in speakers that work well for what I need, eye care low blue light options, 3 different types of target crosshairs for gaming, and even a neat ambient lighting strip on the back you can change the colors of to your liking. All in all, this is a very nice monitor and since it appears to be newly released, does not have a lot of feedback yet. For me, it is perfect. Acer is a good company for monitors, this one is part of their predator gaming line up and looks like it is of high end quality. Was a great purchase for me to look at all day for both work and play.

I had an Acer display once and it was terrible. The quality, the brand identity was not there at all, but this was long ago. Now high frame rate gaming has come to play and Acer seems to be one of the reliable choices on the market (due to its close relationship with Nvidia I suppose). Anyway Id looked into pretty much everything on the market before I bought this. I wish I could go for the dream setup 4K + 144+hz but I think its a little early for that if you dont have so much to spare. 1440p 144hz ips is suffice to get a decent gaming experience with a quality panel which is usually used for displaying more accurate colors than other panel variants . -Overall Design Predator logotype on monitor may please some gaming enthusiasts but as a designer I know it could be better .The red outline (the glow effect) perhaps a little too much but overall its slick design can easily match with Dells manufacturing quality at least for the visible part. The stand has the same red accent color on the tips of the feet and entire thing looks like phoenix persons foot. its quite sturdy and I modified it to use for another display, since Ive been using wall mount for Acer. The reason I had to modify the stand for another Vesa display is because the stands metal panel has two pieces sticking out for the original display to be latched on. Bending it with pliers was quite easy though and since it remains behind the monitor it doesnt need to be perfect. No dead pixels which is great, I cant begin to imagine the frustration to deal with that conversations and shipping back and forth if it had any. Luckily I had none. The menu buttons are okay, some say its not the best experience and I do agree but theyre fine, no issues so far. It comes with Gsync sticker on it though that must be optional. Picture quality, brightness, pixel density are well balanced for a gaming monitor, people who want more may consider other options to get 4k 144 or better which is available but quite an investment for a gamer-soul. -Performance Tested on COD Warzone with RTX 2060S and its so much better than my previous setup (60 hz ips 1080p + older GPU). I wonder whether its significantly better for people who have 120hz monitor because although I get 144 it drops down to 70-120 when I play full res. Lowering resolution does bring it back to higher frame rates for sure but playing 1080p on a 1440p display is just upsetting. That being said I think having constant 144hz is not an easy task if not impossible. Conclusion: Its an IPS 1440P 144hz monitor with full Gsync, so its a no brainer if you have the right hardware. There is not much on the market right now which can give you all of these options. .

When i got it, I had very minimal backlight bleed. Overall no complaints about the quality of the panel. You will see a lot of people here report issues, which is fair, but I personally did not have any dead pixels or other problems. And I did pixel peep every possible inch of this thing to make sure. The thing is decently well constructed. The stand is very solid and mostly metal and it feels good. I ended up hooking it up to a VESA mount anyway, but the stand is fine. Personally Im not a big fan of the aggressive red gamer design scheme but whatever. What I will say about this monitor is that the picture quality does leave something to be desired. I recognize that its 144hz 1440p with g-sync and that inevitably means that there will be some compromises on image quality. But I still find it deeply annoying that there are 300-400 dollars 1440p 60Hz panels that blow this thing out of the water image-wise with way better viewing angles. Again, this panel is totally serviceable but the dynamic range, color accuracy, etc does leave a bit to be desired. This likely goes without saying but if you do not intend to game on it, dont get this monitor get a cheaper better panel that albeit is going to be 60hz but will look better if you just watch TV and movies and do everyday office tasks. At this point in the life cycle of this product it may be better to wait for the next generation of displays to come out, but I dont feel like I needed to wait. I just dont get why they even tried to include speakers on this thing. They are truly abysmal. But no one buying this monitor really cares so.

9/10/16 - This is one awesome monitor! I buy a lot of things on Amazon and very rarely leave a review, but I feel this monitor deserves my praise. ** TL;DR ** Pros: - G-Sync - 1440p - IPS - 144hz refresh rate - NO dead pixels or BLB!!! - Awesome monitor stand - Matte finish on screen is great against glare Cons: - Fingerprints and smudges on matte finish dont just wipe away - OSD menu controls arent immediately intuitive - Price? ** Full Review ** I waited for a long time to finally take the plunge and purchase the Predator. My previous XStar monitor was one of those Korean made eBay specials: 1440p, IPS, overclockable, and cheap ($350 back when I bought it). It overclocked to 96hz and served me well for years, however through no fault of the XStars design, I still suffered from screen tearing in games. Screen tearing to me is one of those things that if nobody had ever told me there was a solution for, I wouldnt have given it much thought. Knowing that G-Sync (and AMDs Freesync) was the solution, it was the first priority for my next monitor upgrade, but I had a few other requirements to meet as well. The new monitor would also have to be 1440p, IPS, and capable of 90 fps or more. These are things that once you experience, you can never really be satisfied with going back to the blocky pixels of 1080p, the poor color and viewing angles of TN panels, or the less perfect 60 fps limit* (more on this in my Other Thoughts). Hopefully I could have it all and not destroy my bank account too. There are a few popular monitors out there that meet the requirements but this one was the cheapest, LOL! It also helped that I like the aesthetic too. You might wonder, since the Predator and others have been around from 2014, why have I taken this long to buy? The price, while reasonable was still not easy to swallow, and then there were the reviews... When these monitors first showed up, a lot of people were having issues with dead pixels, or backlight bleed, or their monitor was dead on arrival or maybe shortly after. It looked like I was flipping a coin and I wouldnt be able to handle losing that kind of money if I wasnt completely satisfied. So why now? Because I do believe that new products have kinks in their design and/or production that cant always be foreseen when they first go to market, but over time a good company will smooth out those kinks if they want to keep selling the product. The reviews have also gotten better, somewhat justifying that belief. Also, the computer Im running (see Computer Specs) is beginning to struggle to maintain a high fps in some of my games. I could upgrade all of the components, or just the GPUs, but the prices Im looking at for new components very quickly shoot over the cost of this new monitor, and Id still be dealing with screen tearing. G-Sync is a good technology to get me by a while longer before completely upgrading my rig. I very occasionally get framerate drops down to 45 fps and it smooths them out to make them a lot less noticeable, which is something Im happy with. So ya, here is the part where I gush over this monitor. The one I got has no backlight bleed worth mentioning, and no dead pixels! Although I have had a few specs of dust land on the monitor that freaked me out for a second when I thought they were dead pixels :) The stand is also A-MEI-ZING (sorry I couldnt help myself). It pivots, swivels, turns, and adjusts in whatever way I would ever desire, and the base of the stand is metal and the legs actually function well as something to grab when I want to push my monitor back or pull it closer. I really do feel like this one of the better purchases Ive made in a while. Games run much smoother with no tearing and less jitter at low fps. This monitor just ticks all the boxes for me! There are a few minor nitpicks though. The matte finish on the screen is terrific for reducing glare, but when the screen goes black it very easily shows fingerprints and smudges from touching it. It wasnt good enough to try to wipe them away with a dry towel. I had to get out the rubbing alcohol and gently rub the smudges for a bit to get them to disappear. I still would rather have the matte finish instead of higher glare though. The OSD menu controls are a bit cumbersome to use, but the user manual does provide some explanations for the functions in the menu and you can save three monitor presets for use in different circumstances. Switching between presets becomes a lot quicker and easier than changing individual settings every time. I also feel like a handle on the stand for lifting and carrying the monitor would have been icing on the cake. I probably wont need to transport my monitor anywhere for a long time but if I were someone who went to LAN parties often then a handle would make carrying this monitor easier a less likely to get more fingerprints and smudges on the screen... The nitpicks arent enough to elicit any regret from me. Now that the monitor is in its place on the desk, positioned how I like it, and the screen is clean I dont have to touch it and I can enjoy it even as I write this review. I suppose Acer deserves some praise and gratitude as well so, THANKS!! Your monitor is awesome! ** Other Thoughts ** Im no expert or any kind of extremist when it comes to color reproduction of monitors, but it seems great to me out of the box. Im sure there are some color profiles for this monitor out there somewhere on the internet that would make it perfect but right now I dont care enough to look for them. There is an overclocking feature of this monitor dubbed, OverDrive to get the monitor to run at refresh rates even higher than 144hz. In my experience, going from 60hz to 96hz on my old XStar monitor was a noticeable and appreciable difference. Going from 96hz to 120hz on the Predator monitor is... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ better but also kinda whatever. Going from 120hz to 144hz is less of a difference and not noticeable to me and I dont really think anyone could tell the difference 100% of the time. The math backs this up: - 60hz to 96hz = 36 extra frames for 60% more frames per second than 60hz - 96hz to 120hz = 24 extra frames for 25% more frames per second than 96hz - 120hz to 144hz = again, 24 extra frames but thats only 20% more frames per second than 120hz You get diminishing returns and eventually the human eye and mind cant tell the difference anyways. Trying to overclock beyond 144hz at the risk of stressing and damaging the monitor is not worth it and I would tell anyone, just dont do it. I am actually just running at 120hz because ULMB (Ultra Low Motion Blur, which is good for games that dont dip down in fps) cant be used at anything higher than 120hz and I think ULMB is a more noticeable improvement than 20% more frames at that point. Dont be fooled by marketings most powerful logical fallacy, Bigger is always better! If you cant tell the difference then it doesnt matter. I should mention that it is a trade off between G-Sync and ULMB. They cant both be used at the same time, so set up my monitor presets to change between them easily (G-Sync has to be turned on or off in the Nvidia Control Panel but the monitor reacts accordingly), so I use G-Sync for games the dip the framerate below 90 fps and I use ULMB for games that never go below 90 fps. Folks... If you read this far then my review must have been helpful and Im glad it was. So many times Ive been helped by others reviews of other products which have guided my purchasing decisions well. Im happy to give back to the community and Ill try to review more positive experiences with products in the future. Thanks for reading! ** Computer Specs ** - i7 3770K @ 4.4Ghz - 2x Asus DirectCU II Geforce 780tis in SLI - 32 GB of DDR3 RAM - Gigabyte Z77 motherboard - 2x Intel SSDs in RAID 0

Bought this monitor to replace a Samsung 27 inch CHG70 monitor that started to display weird rainbow pixels after two years of heavy usage. So far its been great, arrived in perfect condition with no dead pixels. The color accuracy is out of this world, they pop out at you like a museum painting compared to the VA panel of the Samsung which looks washed out unless if your sitting directly in front of the monitor. The monitor is so bright that I have the brightness set to 0 and contrast set at around 20-25. I dont care for black-light bleed, if I care about blacks, then Id buy a OLED panel instead. Gsync is also an awesome feature, I never had the glitches unlike free-sync with an NVIDIA graphics card. It does a good job in all of the ranges of 1HZ to 165HZ unlike free-sync which glitches out below 55 HZ/ 55 FPS. Also is better at distinguishing between normal OS programs and games without any glitches or screen flickering. The only thing I had to get used to is the perfectly flat panel as apparently the curvature of a 1800R monitor that I previously had helps with the FOV to prevent distortions near the edges or something. Took about a day to get used to the flat monitor design and now its pretty normal to use. I had also plugged in my old PS3 into the HDMI input and the colors makes up for the obsolete 1080p resolution of the console. Its really nice. I feel like I could really enjoy this playing old games even maybe some 2D side scroller games from the 16bit era consoles.

I dont do a lot of customer reviews for Amazon, but if youre thinking of buying this product you are probably doing a lot of research on this monitor and similar options, and especially for this model there really isnt a lot out there yet. I wanted to weigh in with my thoughts after a few days of ownership, hopefully theyll help you make an informed decision. If youre looking at this monitor, youve probably also considered the XB270HU and the PG279Q - really its just these three on the market right now checking the 1440p, 144hz, gsync and IPS boxes. I liked the look of the ASUS the best, but the QC reports Id seen had suggested that Acer currently has a leg up in that department. Not surprising, since they had some problems with the 270HU initially and have had time to sort out the bugs. I really didnt want to play the monitor lottery if I could avoid it, so that ruled out the 279Q for me. As for the 270HU, it only has one input, and that was honestly what made the decision for me - I need to plug more than one setup into this, and I didnt want to swap cables every time I did it. Plus, the 271HU overclocks to 165Hz, which is a nice to have in a world where I can actually drive 165 FPS at this resolution (someday). So my monitor came, I held my breath while I set it up and powered it on, ran a few tests and... it actually appears to be in perfect condition! I cant see any backlight bleed or dead pixels, at all. The brightness out of the box is too high and will need to be turned down, but I didnt adjust the colors much. Theres been some discussion about the OSD being below par for this monitor, and while it isnt as user friendly as the Dells Im more familiar with, its totally fine and makes sense to navigate for the limited amount of time you need to use an OSD (hardly ever). One criticism I have; the stand is slightly prone to shake, if you are an aggressive typer at all (I am). This is a minor annoyance, but one Id seen mentioned in a video review and that Ive noticed. I do not notice it when gaming because its not an activity where a lot of typing occurs. The picture quality itself is phenomenal. Id never seen 144Hz or 1440p before owning this (my now secondary display is a 1080p 60hz IPS). If youre in the same boat, you will notice the difference immediately. Its evident on the desktop, just moving your cursor around - its just so much smoother. You will never want to go back. The gsync while gaming is also phenomenal. Im currently running an EVGA GTX 960 4 GB, which is not enough to drive high settings at 1440P. This is particularly evident in a demanding title like Witcher 3, which I own and cannot drive adequately with high settings at 1440P. With GSync however, the frames are smooth and you wont notice your FPS dips unless they are extreme. I can live with this until later this year when the Pascal nVidia cards arrive and I upgrade to something better suited for this thing. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this purchase if you spend a lot of time at your rig with gaming as the primary purpose. You are paying a lot to own a rig that can drive top tier games, so they should look as good as they possibly can - and this monitor will do that.

Update (see original review below): Its been about 6 months since I got this monitor and I couldnt be happier. The minor backlight bleed I had originally is pretty much gone. Also, somehow the backlight has become slightly more neutral over time (went from 5800K to 6200K). Both seemed to change within the first month of use, but have improved and stabilized after that. Maybe it just needs a break-in period? Anyway, Im still loving this monitor, though it sounds like I did luck out with the panel lottery, since I have continued to read reviews about dead pixels etc. One thing I will say is pretty much none of these monitors will have perfect uniformity... in other words, if you have an all white screen, you may notice slight discoloration in some parts of the screen. Its definitely not something I notice unless Im looking for it. Some panels are worse than others in this regard. Original Review: After reading about all sorts of problems with IPS glow and backlight bleed, I thought I might have to skip this generation of G-Sync IPS monitors... but the XB271HU seemed to have more positive responses on forums so I decided to chance it. Either I lucked out, or Acer has done a better job with quality control for this monitor: no dead/stuck pixels, no massive backlight bleed, even backlight, etc. If anyone is wondering, I bought it on Dec 22nd and received one manufactured on October 2015. I tested the monitor using a colorimeter and HCFR to determine the best settings. By default, its way too bright (280cd/m2), so I bumped it down to 30 brightness (130cd/m2). Also, by default the whites are slightly off but not terribly so (about 5800K but greenish also). I set the RGB levels manually to 97-93-100. After those minor adjustments, my panel looks great! It even retains an excellent contrast ratio of 1100:1! As for backlight bleed, I think there might be a tiny amount, but I really have to look for it at my lower brightness setting. When I cranked the brightness up to 100, it was definitely visible. Whats more noticeable for me is the IPS glow. It seems to be worse than a regular IPS, because I can see it in the corners even while sitting in front of the monitor at a comfortable distance (2-3 feet). I am pretty sure it is IPS glow because it disappears if I move my head directly in front of an affected corner.
