The picture quality of the ASUS XG27VQ is one of the best among all gaming monitors in this price range. This is due to its VA panel that offers high native contrast ratio, excellent peak brightness, great gamma, and fair color accuracy. The XG27VQ does an excellent job of reproducing deep dark scenes, bright and vivid colors, and eye-catching intermediate tones. The monitor can reproduce beautiful dark scenes thanks to its native contrast ratio of 3000:1 which allows it to display intense blacks. Colors look bright and vibrant thanks to the monitor's high peak brightness of 300 nits. Mid-tones look life-like because of the panel's nearly ideal average gamma of 2.25. Additionally, the monitor's color inaccuracies are almost invisible to the human eye as its average color error dE is only 2.6. See More
This monitor has multiple tools that enable it to display clear and blur-free motion even in the high FPS games, allowing this VA panel to compete against faster TN gaming monitors in this price range. First, the artificial motion blur effect is virtually eliminated by the aid of ASUS's Extreme Low Motion Blur feature, which makes this LCD monitor behave more like CRT monitors. Second, the monitor doesn't suffer from heavy ghosting as each pixel of the ASUS XG27VQ can change its color in 4ms. Finally, the motion appears smooth and fluid because of the monitor's native refresh rate of 144 Hz, which enables it to display up to 144 frames each second. See More
Even though no one has tested the monitor's input lag yet, it seems to be within the four-millisecond range according to the general user reviews and the input lag tests of other ASUS ROG monitors from 2016-2017. Such input lag makes the ASUS XG27VQ one of the most responsive monitors in its price range. The input lag of a monitor corresponds to the time delay between a GPU producing a frame and the monitor processing it. The lower the input lag, the more responsive and connected your gaming experience will be. See More
The ASUS XG27VQ makes your overall gaming experience more immersive as its 1800R curved panel gives you the sensation of the screen surrounding you. Additionally, the panel's curvature minimizes viewing angles on the sides of the monitor which noticeably improves the overall visual consistency of the panel. See More
The Acer XB271HU produces noticeably higher strain on your graphics card than a regular FHD monitor because it has 42% more pixels. It could be a huge deal breaker for those with lower-end computers. It is advised to research if your gaming rig will be able to deal with the extra pixels in your favorite titles if you go from an FHD monitor to a QHD one. See More
The Acer XB271HU offers decent overall picture quality for a gaming monitor at this price point because its brightness, contrast ratio, and gamma response are all on par with what its competitors offer. The Acer XB271HU displays adequate-looking images, with mediocre blacks, saturated mid-tones, and vibrant colors. The dark scenes look average, with blacks that are neither too flat, nor too deep, because the monitor's contrast ratio is limited to 1000:1. Intermediate tones appear life-like, thanks to the monitors near-ideal gamma of 2.19. Colors look vivid as the monitor's panel can get quite luminous with its brightness peaking at 350 nits. Additionally, the XB271HU can reproduce more saturated and sharper images than its 1080p competitors of the same size because it features 42% higher pixel density than a regular 27-inch FHD panel. See More
The Acer XB271HU has one of the best motion control toolsets in its price range, as it manages to display clear and flawless motion without even the slightest trace of motion blur or ghosting thanks to its excellent pixel response time, full ULBM support, and high native refresh rate. The monitor naturally eliminates motion blur because its pixels need only one millisecond to change their color as the panel's full pixel response time is only 1 ms. Such rapid pixel transition keeps objects on-screen from leaving traces. Acer's ULMB feature eliminates the artificial effect of ghosting as it strobes the monitor's backlight and makes it behave like a CRT display. The motion looks smooth and fluid thanks to the monitor's high refresh rate of 165 Hz, which allows it to update its image up to 165 times every second. See More
The monitor offers lag-free gaming experience because of its fantastically low input lag of 4.6 ms, which makes it one of the most responsive gaming monitors in this price range. Monitor's input lag is a delay between your video card producing a frame and the fame being fully processed by the monitor. See More
Even though the monitor's picture quality doesn't excel in any aspect, it still performs similarly to the majority of gaming monitors in this price range. The monitor displays average-looking images with mediocre dark scenes and reasonably luminous colors. The dark scenes look average as the monitor's native contrast ratio of 1000:1 is not high enough to make its blacks appear natural. However, the colors look vivid thanks to the monitor's peak brightness of 300 nits. See More
The Acer Predator XB271H makes motion appear clear, with no artificial motion blur and ghosting effects, as the monitor combines fast full pixel response time with Acer's ULMB feature and the panel's high refresh rate. Motion blur is eliminated as each panel's pixel can change its color fast enough to prevent fast-moving objects from leaving traces. The monitor's full pixel response time of 1 ms makes this possible. Ghosting is reduced to a minimum by the aid of Acer's ULMB feature, which strobes the monitor's backlights and makes it behave like CRT monitors. Finally, as the monitor's high native refresh rate ensures smooth and fluid motion by updating the monitor's image 144 times a second. See More
Regarding its picture quality, the ZOWIE XL2720 is on par with most gaming monitors in this price range as it offers sufficient contrast ratio, peak brightness, color accuracy, and gamma response. While the monitor's dark scene performance is mediocre, it can still display vivid and accurate colors and eye-catching intermediate tones. It can recreate average-looking dark scenes with blacks that are neither overly flat, nor profound as the monitor's native contrast ratio is limited to 915:1. The colors pop and appear relatively accurate since the ZOWIE XL2720 combines relatively high peak brightness of 315 nits with almost unnoticeable color accuracy error dE of 2.2. Mid-tones look good and saturated thanks to the monitor's gamma response of 2.06 which is only 6.3% away from the ideal value. See More
The monitor's excellent motion handling capabilities allow the BenQ ZOWIE XL2720 to display fast-paced content without motion blur and ghosting because of its panel's high native refresh rate and fast pixel response time. Motion blur and ghosting effects are eliminated by the panel's quick pixels that need only one millisecond to change their color because of the monitor's full pixel response time of 1 ms. This prevents fast-moving objects from leaving artificial trails. The monitor’s 144 Hz panel refreshes every seven milliseconds, making motion appear smooth and fluid. See More
The monitor's input lag stays at a fantastically low value of 3.2 ms, making the ZOWIE XL2720 one of the most responsive gaming monitors in its price range. A monitor’s input lag represents the delay between your GPU generating a frame and the frame starting to appear on your monitor. See More
The ZOWIE XL2720 causes noticeably less eye strain than the majority of competitors in its price range because the monitor is flicker-free and has a mode that reduces the intensity of blue light. Backlight flickering and high-intensity blue light emitted by LEDs are among the main factors related to eye fatigue caused by extensive use of computer monitors. See More
