is there a part 2? you basically just talk about the predator the entire video and don't discuss the pg27
Want one with 1440p hdr1000. Maybe no cooling fan
32 inch 4k 144hz Please!
Can I use any of those monitors for my Xbox 1 x set up or do I need any other adapters I need to buy to reach atlest 120 hz ?
Question is just how noisy is one fan in comparison to the other? Think I'm gonna wait for the PG27UQX, they upgraded the fan with a less noisy one.
So i have the money to spend on this monitor as i have a capable graphics card, i do graphics design work and play games. Would u recommend this monitor still in 2020?
how about 1k2 price tag for the acer x27? is it worth buying
I bought this monitor because of your review. Worth every penny. Far Cry 5 in 4k HDR is just indescribable.
Can I get these same specs but with a 1440p panel? As I need to power 3 of them
i still pref the Asus one, much better looking than this, and yes most of us love the Asus logo on !!! and the RGB Logo behind
someone TLDR please?
Just casually walking into peoples buildings with your smg equip i see farcry 5
2 years later. Are we getting the cheaper monitors now?
The exact comparison im lookinng fot. Thank you
I would definitely go for acer rather than asus cause of price, acer is around 650 USD… Much cheaper than asus 😍😍
The only reason I am not buying a 4K 144Hz even now in 2020 is because they have a fan inside. So the monitor is gonna make a lot of noise when gaming, which is very annoying.
Should I get this monitor for a new October of 2020 PC build where I will be using the new Nvidia RTX 3090 Ti ?
Will this new video card take full advantage of this monitor ?
Will Acer release a new successor to this monitor for a Fall release in 2020 to compliment the new Nvidia RTX 3090 Ti?
Will the new Nvidia card support a faster transfer rate with Display port to get true HDR and full Adobe RGB 4.4.4 at 120 hz and faster? 🤓
How can we choose 4-4-4 120Hz SDR or 4-4-4 98Hz HDR in OCD? Which is default out-of-box?
Hey bro i have a question, I found 27inch 1080p unusable due pixel size, 1440p was perfect, the question is 32inches at 1440p will it be the same like 1080p at 27inches? thanks
Thanks a lot for this. I’ve been scrambling to find a good HDR monitor to play cyberpunk on when it releases, and I think I’m gonna hold off on these early models and high price tags lol. I’ve decided to go for the LG27GL850 instead :). Hopefully in a couple years the price will come down on HDR1000 monitors and the collection of HDR compatible titles has grown!
Got my Acer Predator x27 for 50% off on Black Friday. Should be good for years to come. Wish it was 240hz, maybe they will release an update for full 10-bit color @144hz with compression like the Samsung G9 uses.
There is a hidden menu which allows you to change the fan speed. Click each button twice from the bottom up.
I’m waiting for my predator x27 to arrive and this video was such a fucking roller coaster😂
Even if i could afford this, gpu’s cant handle 4k with high fps yet
You say to run the monitor at 98Hz to get 4:4:4. How can I do this? My refresh rates in the Nvidia control panel go from 85Hz to 100Hz, there's no in-between.
2020 and this monitor is still a beast!!! I can't think of another monitor better than this one in like the next 3 years!
Got a LG 38gn950 and super happy with it. Also a lot cheaper than this beast
I got it for 600$ today.. cant wait !!
Acer x27 was so loud and power button wouldn't work…returned maybe I got unlucky
Backlight bleed?
The Acer ConceptD CP7 CP7271KP is a better choice because you dont pay the "gamer" tax + it seems to be a better selection for pros since it runs for example 1-144Hz (without the need to OC) and the predator one runs at 25-120 (or 144 when OCing if it manages that) but it has a hideous stand…. at least for my taste.. 😛
Who is watching in 2020 given the price reductions on this monitor!
So whats better after all?
Does it mean if I only use 120 Hz , I can run 4:4:4 RGB
2+ years later and these are still the only HDR monitors worth talking about and the Predator X32 is listed at $3600 when it eventually comes out. Sad state of affairs for premium monitors.
i was eyeing the acer x27. right now it's about $1800. Still too steep. There indeed a "cheaper" acer model with HDR 400 at roughly $800.
Was looking at the Acer Predator X27p or lg 27gn950. Both look similar specs but the X27p costs a lot more. Don’t know why.
2 years later, this was £799 when I bought it last week. Absolute bargain
So where is that cheaper better model?
So it's June 2021, has the monitor market matured for good HDR panels? Doesn't really seem like it.
The predator series monitors get stupid hard to find. The Asus PG-UQ is still super expensive. Its newest iteration, the uqx is $3000 and uses mini-led.
DisplayHDR1000 is still over $1000. And comes in super ultrawides for reasons.
DisplayHDR600 is reviewed as fine. But not as noteworthy as 1000.
So it's still a cluster fuck pretty much.
2 years later and these monitors still have very little competition, and are still expensive.
Two years later and these monitors are still the best in class 👍🏻
Anyone’s x27, fan start slowly failing and monitor goes “ critical temperature “?
Why nobody reviews the asus rog strix xg27uq monitor?
Just purchased the X27 off Ebay. Very excited to go from my GTX 560ti 448 and U2212HM (60hz 1080p) to my RTX 3090 with the X27.
