About to buying a 3d ready and g-sync monitor. So many questions! help please
3 / 3
Ok, finally got the XB270HA and tested it.
I'm very pleased with it. After a minimal calibration colors are quite good. Vision angles are very poor, overall when you move your head up and down, but you know, it's TN.
I have noted the loss of pixel density, but not so much. To people saying you can see the pixels in 27" @1080P, it's not true, at least for me.
I come from 22" so the jump to 27" is...*drooliiiing*
The 3D is quite impressive. I come from 1st 3d generation without lightboost, and the Acer is wooowww! Very low ghosting (almost zero) and very bright. I can even raise depth more than before and my eyes are anot strained.
Still not tested G Sync in depth, just a pair of games, but it seems it's true to its word. Very fluid and no tearing or jerks in Warframe, Far Cry 3 or X Rebirth. I'll test some "heavy weights" today (BF4, Crysis...)
I have not tested ULMB and I think I'm not going to. The screen becomes too dark. :-/ Anyway, I'm not very sensitive to blur (not such as microsttutering, so G sync makes my day)
OSD is very intuitive. Maybe a bit simple. But you can switch easily from ULMB to g sync, to 3d and you can see wich mode is active. I.e. when you press the "info" button it reads "mode active: normal, 3d, g sync, Ulmb..."
0 dead pixels btw ^_^
As negatives notes I could say that it is not robustly anchored to the supporting stand. When you press the OSD buttons you move the monitor quite a lot.
The backlight is not very good too. It has leakages in bottom and left side of the monitor although the scene has to be very dark to notice. I'll try to test dark games (Alien Isolation, Amnesia...) to test this.
And that's it. Overall, very happy. And stunned with G sync and most of all the jump (my jump) in 3d vision quality.
Cheers!

I still recommend the Swift even with its $700-800 price-tag. 2.5k is the sweet spot right now, [b]the color reproduction of its 10-bit TN is actually very impressive [/b](rivals the IPS it replaced, an Eizo Foris). This is still the best G-Sync / 3D Vision monitor available IMHO, I would pay up for it an save elsewhere. [/quote]
I had to reply to correct this faulty post (even if it is so old,so people will know the truth..)
[b]it's a 8-bit monitor..NOT A 10-bit ONE[/b]

OSD is very intuitive. Maybe a bit simple. But you can switch easily from ULMB to g sync, to 3d and you can see wich mode is active. I.e. when you press the "info" button it reads "mode active: normal, 3d, g sync, Ulmb..."
