Quote:
-Acer XB270HU is the world’s first NVIDIA® G-SYNC™ enabled gaming monitor with an IPS display that offers consistent, clear images from 178-degree wide viewing angles

-Acer XG270HU is the world’s first gaming monitor with an edge-to-edge frameless display for seamless viewing and quick 1ms response time

-Both monitors sport a 27-inch display with WQHD (2560 x 1440) resolution and fast 144Hz refresh rate

Well this is certainly a first, seems like a jack-of-all-trades monitor. Very Happy
It'll probably be very expensive but that's to be expected.

looking forward to seeing the tests!
since its Acer I'd be wary about the Overdrive function, in their recent displays they tend to fuck that up and make it too strong

its using basically a 144hz version of the BenQ BL2710PT panel, also used in the Korean QNIX so the test results and also response times should be pretty similar.

They always could, they just didn't.
And btw. this is a slightly different version of the same panel technology, M270DAN02.1 is the 60hz, M270DAN02.3 is the 144hz version.
Apart from the (now discontinued) FG2421 panel there were 120hz MVA by AUO and even 240hz ASV panels by Sharp that were never used...
The problem with LCD and higher refresh rates is that smoothness goes up, but so does the ghosting. So you need REALLY fast response times like the TNs can do it.
Due to this even the 120hz Koreans do not look quite as clear in motion as a 120hz TN, people report. Knowing Acer they probably use an extremely aggressive Overdrive impulse to compensate and cause noticeable overshoot in the process.

144hz will not overheat computer in any way, only thing what it can do is make your GPU to output some annoying coil whine. Anyway, 144hz @ 1440p will be some serious task for your GPU´s, atleast 2x of absolutely top end GPUs is needed along with some serious CPU muscle (even they wont deliver solid 144fps). But since its a GSYNC monitor, you wont need solid 144fps to maintain smooth experience (tho then whole 144hz is absolutely waste).

Something like 200 - 300 frames per second can as noted produce coil whine but I doubt there's any GPU issues until you reach a couple of thousands of frames per second as can happen in some older games with VSync off in the main menu screens. Smile
(Star-Craft 2 I believe had a similar problem before they added a FPS cap option.)

To focus on the flaws:
- Brightness/luminance is great, but black depth sucks. Not unexpected for an IPS, though.
- G-Sync and ULMB are Nvidia exclusive, which limits your hardware choices. Not an issue if you are green to the core, I suppose Smile
- ULMB is limited to 85/100Hz and really kills the brightness. Also incompatible with G-Sync, but that was expected and not a huge deal at higher framerates.

Otherwise seems like a solid monitor. I don't know what's the price tag on it, though.

MSRP is 699€, and store price usually a bit lower..
Less than the Swift, which is basically useless now
Light AG, proper viewing angles, IPS colors, no overshoot - the Swift has only weaker Glow, ULMB at higher refresh and minimally faster pixel response times
