Acer Predator XB283K KVbmiipruzx 28 UHD 3840 x 2160 Agile-Splendor IPS PC & Console Gaming Monitor | AMD FreeSync Premium/G-SYNC Compatible | 144Hz | 1ms | 1xUSB Type-C, 1xDP 1.4, 2xHDMI 2.1 & 4xUSB

Good purchase does what it supposed to do . Excellent visuals and performance . Bulky stand but i like how it looks .

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.

This is quite honestly, a Perfect monitor. I wanted a 4k, high refresh rate (120+), and this is what I had found. 4k, 144hz with HDR 400. It did take a little tweaking with the HDR settings and other settings to get a picture that is truly impressive, but surely enough it is there. If you have a decent beast of a PC, this monitor will take full advantage. And after I got it set properly it is such a beauty to behold. Games look so beautiful and smooth. Also, this was very easy to mount on a dual Vesa Mount. Although I nearly didnt mount it because the built in base is very impressive! Very sturdy and very adjustable. All said and done, 5 star monitor all around. Picture, Refresh Rate, Build Quality, HDR, Settings, Adjustability and Function. All 5 star.

The size, resolution, refresh rate, and color quality are all really great on these monitors (I purchased two of them). But I do have two complaints about the monitors. The biggest issue I have is that the colors are not presented the same on both monitors. Expanding the same standard white screen across both monitors, and the color will look slightly off between monitors. Ive spent hours trying to adjust the colors (saturation, hue, everything) to try and match, but to no avail. Ive gotten mostly used to it at this point, but its still annoying. The second issue is that occasionally there will be a vertical line on the screen where the picture doesnt line up. I dont know the reason or source of this issue, but Im able to fix it by cycling the output to a different source and then coming back. I purchased these monitors to use for gaming, and Im honestly not sure I am noticing the major improvement I was hoping for based on the cost. Acer has a 27 inch 2K IPS monitor for $250 that I think is probably a better choice for most people.

Bought this monitor April 2020 and its served me well for the last three years, with an annoying but easily fixable quirk: every once in a while itll move a few columns of pixel from the middle of the screen to the far right, but turning the monitor off and then on again fixes the problem. That said, as of yesterday (4/28/23), Ive noticed that the left half of the screen has started having different shades in alternating columns. Whacking the monitor on the side gets rid of them though. Well see if this issue continues, but nonetheless, still very happy with my purchase.

Very good qualoty

I went through quite a process to finally get a quality monitor. I had first ordered an XB270, which was notorious for backlight issues. The one I received was certainly horrible. I then ordered a PG279Q that I got lucky enough to find in stock at the right time, being the upgraded version of the PG278Q. Everyone interested in these types of gaming monitors was hoping the PG279Q would resolve issues with the previous generation. The backlight issues on mine were fairly small, but there was a glowing hole in the middle of the panel. Auto RMA. Now, through all of this, everyone else that are part of the communities that discuss these products were having horrible issues with the XB270 / PG278Q / PG279Q. Everyone was patiently waiting for the XB271 to be released.... And it was. Boy did they seem to nail down the quality control issues that were rampant with the XB270 (for the most part, at least). The stand for the XB271HU comes off as cheap and tacky in the photos you see - its really not. My better half didnt really care for it, but shes not a gamer (or interested in technology). It looks really good. The tilt, pivot, and sliding of the monitor all work very smoothly and the sliding up/down in height is superior to other monitors Ive seen and owned. The bezel is amazingly small and sleek, flush with the screen. Its really VERY nice looking, and is lacking from the models Ive noted above. The backlight bleeding on mine is next to none, and the IPS glow, while there, is not really noticeable (and a byproduct of the technology, obviously). I had one dead pixel. No big deal, and I casually looked for it the other night and didnt notice it, so it may have corrected. Cons? Expensive. Very expensive. If youre a gamer and want the best, this is it. I upgraded from what was the best gaming monitor 5-6 years ago, and this blows it away in every respect. Once you get one of these, theres really no going back. Youll never be able to play on 1080p, 60hz, or no gsync. The menu system is extremely clunky, and far inferior to ASUS with the joystick. That being said, who really cares? Youll set it up once and likely never touch it again. Ive seen a number of people have backlight issues with their panels, so its not a guarantee to get a good one. But it would appear the success rate with these is substantially higher than others (based off of feedback from a couple forums). Seeing the horror stories of 3+ returns on other models while still not getting a good panel, and just simply giving up, Id recommend one of these all day long.

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 love everything related to this monitor, the gaming experience is definately next gen. I would recommend + super fast shipping and great packaging

So I came from a 30fps BenQ 1080p 1ms monitor to this IPS monster, which is currently now second to a latest-model younger brother. I worked up a good amount of doubt and nervousness and yolo on the idea of the IPS lottery and having to return a unit that had too much backlight bleed, dead pixels, or other glitches. I will say that the 27 I got looks so much larger in screen size than my 27 BenQ. Im guessing its the beautifully thin bezels since my older monitor had 0.5+ on all sides which didnt bother me. As for the issues, I believe I got lucky. Im running DP 1.2 to a stock setting GTX 1080 with Gsync on and antialiasing off in games. I also customized the color settings profile based on a common set on Reddit for the IPS model. I ran a full color test and couldnt stop grinning through it all. A 4k video on YT made me almost smell the lush jungles and dusty lions on screen. I have ZERO dead pixels. No driver issues noted. As for backlight bleed, this IS an IPS monitor so there will be something. Alas, I do have a very small amount of BLB at the bottom right corner only that radiates approximately 3-4 inches when the screen is black or presenting a dark image. In all honesty, though, that was the only time I really ever noticed it. I have forgotten it was there until writing this review. Doesnt bother me in the least. I will say that this model has an issue that some experience with a very narrow vertical strip of pixels being transposed from generally the center of the screen to the right edge of the screen. I have experienced this myself twice since Ive owned it and the only thing I needed to do is use the power button to cycle off/standby then on and the issue resolved. Very minor inconvenience that has occurred at or near startup. Would I recommend this monitor? If you have the $$$ and will use it as more than a daily web surfing monitor, and dont already have a solid IPS monitor from something like Dells competitor, then go for it. I have a new higher standard I am now used to and dont really ever remember this reality until I look at a 1080p monitor again. Otherwise, 1440p at 144hz is my new norm. The idea then becomes: you dont really ever know how privileged you are until you arent. Even a constant miracle will eventually be taken for granted as just normal and expected. We become desensitized to our current wonders. So to is the beauty of this monitor. In other words, dont bankrupt yourself on peripherals and upgrades that youll eventually become desensitized to. Save up, wait for a sale, then jump on this monitor. Enjoy the journeys taken in life, dont grind yourself to the bone to try and keep up with bleeding edge tech when youll only end up eventually replacing it one day. Of course, if youve got the $$$, then have fun with it.
