In later revisions of G-Sync, HDMI compatibility would be added, allowing for a second port to be included. The reason for the single video input is the monitor’s G-Sync feature. There’s a power input, a single video input (DisplayPort 1.2), an upstream USB 3.0 port and two downstream USB 3.0 ports. The majority of the monitor’s ports are downward-facing on the back of the screen. Other adjustments were easier to make, with 90 degrees of rotation, 150mm of height adjustment and 45 degrees of tilt, and the stand was sturdy and didn’t wobble much. In short, it’s a crummy design choice swivelling is better handled at the top of the monitor as we see in BenQ designs (e.g. We’ve seen previous Acer monitors where this circular piece of plastic fell off entirely, and couldn’t easily be reinstalled.
The metal bottom of the base is covered with thin plastic, which in theory should allow the monitor to be swivelled left and right… but in our well-travelled review unit, the mechanism was damaged and swivelling was prevented. If you have a spare VESA stand or mount, using it would improve the look of the XB270HU considerably in our view. This includes the fairly thick bezel (11mm) surrounding the display, as well as the red-ringed base of the slim stand. The XB270HU’s looks don’t match its high price, with cheap-looking glossy black plastic abound. Compared to more common TN screens, IPS is more expensive and (traditionally) slower to update, but offers better viewing angles and more accurate colours. What does IPS mean? IPS stands for in-plane-switching, and refers to a certain type of display panel technology.

1440p sits between 1080p and 4K, offering sharper graphics than 1080p but a less demanding target than 4K.

What does 1440p mean? It refers to 2560 x 1440, a resolution with four times the pixels of 720p (1280 x 720). You can feel a real difference between standard 60Hz and advanced 120 or 144Hz monitors, and it’s easy to see why competitive gamers in fast-paced games demand them as essential equipment. This makes gameplay feel more fluid and eliminates judder, as long as your system is capable of pumping out 144 frames per second. What does 144Hz mean? It’s the monitor’s refresh rate, updating 144 times per second.

The inclusion of G-Sync will also benefit Nvidia-based gamers. The Acer XB270HU is a good gaming monitor that gets the essentials right, with a solid 1440p / 144Hz IPS panel that suits both gaming and desktop use. G-Sync makes low FPS much more tolerable.IPS: accurate colours and wide viewing angles.1440p resolution: crisp, no scaling required.In this review, we’ll put it to the test. IPS for colour accuracy and viewing angles 1440p for good visuals without the performance requirements of 4K, and 144Hz for silky-smooth, responsive gaming. If you’re looking for a gaming monitor and 4K seems like overkill, then the XB270HU has the spec sheet you really want. It’s an IPS display running at 1440p resolution and 144Hz refresh rate, and even comes with G-Sync support.
