Finally a review of the Acer XB273U GX from a YouTuber I can trust. Thank you!

[MichaelBertolino]

Nobody has talked about these monitors, so I'm so happy you did! End game monitor for sure! Not sure much Hz higher than this will be worth it until it gets super cheap

Nice. Please keep updating your recommendations on this category (best 1440p for eSports) as time goes by and refreshes come. The only problem I'd have with this monitor now is the brightness, which will probably be improved upon in the next few years.

Great video as always!

Dude I've been waiting for this this review obsessively. Can't wait for the XG27AQM review, I've heard that monitor is even better.

Great review, cheers. Just picked this up after seeing your review for 699.00 AUD / 485.82 US, factory sealed. No stuck or dead pixels and extremely minimal back light bleed, lucky maybe. Upgraded from a 27" 1440p 144Hz TN panel I've had since 2014. I wasn't sure about the differences in gaming performance and day to day usage I'd perceive, I was wrong, it's massive. If anyone else is contemplating a similar upgrade just do it. A fantastic monitor at a fair price.

Okay. I discovered your channel yesterday trying to look for reviews of this monitor. I loved your content but was sad that you hadn't reviewed this acer one. And viola! I am blessed by you today!!!

A new OT video,
Always a blessing for us Competitive gamers.
I binge watch all your content.
I wish there were 1000 more😇

this guy with his experiments and hard work, really deserves 10millions subs, he needs to hire more people to focus on more important things.
i see tons of efforts in this video.

This is the monitor I'm running and it's a beast! sRGB mode with motion blur reduction at normal looks amazing.

[syafiqibrahim]

Is no one talking about how he SMOKED that seer at the beginning

[fireice]

Thank you for this video. I recently got this monitor 2 weeks ago. I have it paired with a R9 5900x and a RTX 3080 and its a dream especially for FPS games!

[RJeezy]

Love the fact that we get new monitors from every company every week, with absolutely terrible names i.e Acer X5snf475djsg3bd, mixed with 0 availability once these reviews come out. Great review mixed with extremely poor marketing and supply issues!

[davetechme]

I've had this since around the beginning of the year. Love it coming from a 1440p 165Hz monitor.

[RayInOrbit]

not even kidding, i Think i was in the match u put up on screen at 5:26, top player, if the name was Ray, it was 100% me, i remember GOAT clearly and u mightve been there too.

[kittleeagle]

Picked this up at Micro Center for $699 and I love it. I am getting a 2nd. I have $900 in Store Credit so why not! My rig is a 3090, 5800x 4.8GHz 1.3V All Core with 4000MHz / 2000 FCLK and I can achieve 300FPS Steady in Modern Warfare Multiplayer on 1440P :) It ain't bad at all.

[chabu]

Don't even have enough money for this monitor not will I have anytime soon, I just enjoy watching your content thanks for uploading.

[hawkeyes]

i got the 170hz version on a deep discount dale, , its amazing
the hdr is decent the color accuracy is just a few precentage off but near perfect and the refesh is so dam good

[konga]

Bought this monitor a couple weeks ago. I'm not even super into competitive gaming, but I like it a lot. It's wonderfully vibrant for when you want that, has an accurate srgb mode when you want that instead, and it offers super crisp and clear motion which can be nice in all kinds of different titles. The biggest issue with it though is that it locks you to normal overdrive mode when you have adaptive sync enabled, and this mode gives you some noticeable inverse ghosting at lower refresh rates (120Hz and under). It's not too terrible to use or anything, but you will definitely see it. I see it most when terrain is moving across the screen set against a blue sky.

That lg27gp850 in less than 400 bucks right now can’t beat that

[daftpunk]

wow this is the longest I've seen you grow out your hair man. Nice review as well Optimum!
