Well when freesync comes out in the next few months, if it works as well as Gsync, nvidia / manufacturers will have no choice to either sell Gsync at the price it costs them to add it, or for nvidia to enable freesync in drivers... Nobody other than people who only buy nvidia is going to pay an extra £200 for something you can get for an extra £50 (probably), if gsync prices don't drop I will be getting an AMD card for freesync, hopefully nvidia will allow freesync through drivers but I don't know how likely they are to do that, the ASUS MG279Q looks better than this Acer and will be freesync only, well it will probably be similar as uses the same panel but it looks nicer and asus is better than acer and does not have a cheap looking stand lol. Why have acer put glossy plastic and orange on a "premium" monitor it makes it look like a £100 monitor.
Was tempted by the Rog Swift, but at $999.99 in Canada couldn't do it. This will probably cost the same but it's an IPS, so I can justify it in my head. I just can't do TN anymore, I hope this thing is amazing.

after gaming on an IPS monitor for a few years I realized that I don't actually look at my screen from all kinds of different angles.
This thread is going to be glorious once issues start creeping up after release.

Nothing can touch IPS in color accuracy even head on.
If you're using this monitor for gaming though, what exactly is "accurate" when it comes to colors in game? It's not like you're viewing a photo of a real life object so does the accuracy really matter all that much?
You're right, because game art designers obviously pick colours at random and do not adhere to a standard. They definitely do not make their games look a certain way to evoke certain moods, tone or use colours and shades to impress players or emphasize something.
I think that's partially true but it's also related to the fact that professionals used IPS screens for their work, and those screens were incredibly expensive relative to TN panels, and a whole lot of discussion arose surrounding the technical reasons for those extra costs, and then when IPS panels dropped in price compared to TN panels gamers started jumping on the "premium" monitors regardless of the fact that a lot of IPS technology isn't really conducive to twitch gaming.Never said they don't. Just saying if the color of your grass in battlefield isn't the proper shade of green does it really matter THAT much? I think the main reason why people prefer IPS over TN for gaming wasn't always due to better "accuracy" but rather because the colors appeared more "vibrant" than TN and that reason being due to TN panels being 6 bit and using harsh matte coating vs glossy ips.

This monitor looks amaze-ballz. It may be better than EVERY monitor in existence today.
Thoughts?
Do we have a MSRP for this yet?

I haven't heard a peep about this and it's supposed to be shipping in a week or two?
Anyone else heard any news?
The XB270HU (TN version with Freesync instead of G-Sync) has been postponed until April at the earliest

I agree completely. I'm in the market for a new monitor and I keep coming back to this thread. #NeedItNow
