In Windows, my RX480 defaulted to freesync On, and the monitor was first running at 60 Hz.


I could see trails on a stationary object if I shook my mouse extremely quickly, but that's beyond normal mousing in game. Motion was smooth, and the image was clear. From the blurbusters test, I think overdrive Normal is the right setting anyway. The three overdrive options are Off, Normal, and Extreme, so definitely, there is overdrive with freesync. Overdrive option is fixed at Normal with freesync. This is my first 144 Hz monitor, upgrading from 75 Hz. The bottom bezel is relatively large, but that's ok. The speakers are decent, but I think I prefer my macbook pro speakers As mentioned, these are on the left side of the panel, two on the side, two facing down. The ports on the base of the monitor are mostly clustered on the left side of the bottom of the panel, as opposed to being in the middle of the bottom, except for the power plug, which goes on the right side. (actually maybe this is just because the newer monitor is bigger, and appears morein my face) It positions the screen forward of the base, and so the monitor is closer to my face than with my previous monitor. Microcenter has this monitor on sale, and so I picked one up.ĭespite the page stating XF270HU and despite the pictures showing the older, bezeled model, the model they have in stock is indeed the A revision with the "edge-to-edge" display. Please see attached pictures for the left to right subtle color gradient, on the picture the right side appears a bit darker(purpilish) that is not a camera issue it looks that way I bought the monitor Jan 20, I think this is the 5th panel I have and it is not up to the standard you guys here must be incredible lucky to get good panels. paying approx $400 is a waste of $$ from what I heard all 1440p panels with high refresh rates have issues, I think they have not perfected this technology. The panel quality is sub-par I dont expect to have color shifts on a 100$ panel. The picture is crisp, brightness is good on the highest setting, 144hz is awesome, the overdrive setting is not an issue freesync is enabled o my AMd R9. I then asked them to replace the monitor again and this time there the right side is a bit darker than the left side. Acer pays for shipping for 3 months after purchase so I sent it out for replacement, when I got the monitor screen was broken. As I said I bought a monitor from bestbuy had to return it 4 times because of panel IPS glow/back light bleed issues, best buy banned me the 4th time refusing to return the panel.
