It's subjective opinion, I have been using my Acer xv272ux from 2021 and work a lot on it(coding), also got level 10 faceit with this panel and I love this monitor, the best 240hz I ever had, but had a lot other before: Benq 2540, Alienware aw2518hf, LG 27GK750F, Asus vg279qm, Asus vg258qm, Acer xv273x, Acer XF252QX, Acer VG252QX

Today I would buy new version of this monitor Acer XV272UZ or MSI Optix G274QPX

Of course the best I want ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQN), but too expensive in my country and overall I satisfied with Acer XV272UX
LOL, excuse me but i disagree.

I've had 5 XV272UX in total, i've two for gaming and colors creation area (sRGB/CYMK), another for my wife (digital drawing) and gaming, two for a friend (cyber security stuff, remote code learning and gaming) we all also look anime and it's not just a "subjective" state, this screen was a really bad experience.
There is probably worse screen in the world obviously but this screen it's not good comparate to some screen for several reasons.

Don't really care about your rank on games, it's not the subject, i can say that i reach the rank that i also want on Apex Legends but it doesn't make this monitor good just because you didn't see any issues while it's also your personnal/subjective opinion while i compared mine with my wife and a friend and we have same feeling for a 2/3 years experience.
Screens that you mentionned are just bad and not a good competitors, maybe that's why you find it "good"

Here is what is bad with this monitor :

1. Black Equaliser performance are not the best, pretty meh.
2. The semi-glossy coating on this one is bad, not sharp like a true glossy coating but not stop reflect like a true matte coating, having the sun with this screen is a huge pain.
3. First overdrive are objectively trash, second mode have still a lot of ghosting, lastest have too much overshoot.
4. QD filters add a redish tint and it's badly implemented on this one, you cannot have a true green or a true beige.
5. Have KSF phosphor like a lot of 1440p
6. Panel made in 2019/2020, too old
7. When you play with the brightness/contrast and colors, at times it becomes more yellow or greener, a known bug on this model (although no one has bought this one, there are even a few people that they 'destroyed on Amazon)
8. Give several headache on different condition for me and i'm a hard myopic and astigmatism, my wife doesn't have any issues (10/10 on both eyes) and also a friend (slightly astigmatism by 0.25%) and we feel the SAME kind of "headache" and eye strain by using this screen.
9. Strobing are unusable/performing really bad
10. Input lag compared to some Zowie/Alienware and on a random XG2431 are not perfect

Other 1440p which have KSF Phosphor gave me the same feeling and some rare 1080p too but it's the only one which gives me this sensation of an ultra bright reddish screen in front of my face even with low brightness/contrast and it's been like 2/3 years that we have this screen, you must have compared tons of screens and not be naive to see it.

If you're okay with it, then ok but there's no point in coming just for writing disinformation just because you don't accept its flaws, I'm objective.
Current temporary test : Waiting for the MPG 271QRX QD-OLED | Main monitor : actually nothing | I've had : 1080P : XL2546X / XL2566K / XL2546K / XL2546 / XL2540K / XL2746S / EX2510 / MAG251RX / NXG253R / MAG271CR / VG259QM / VG258QM / XG249CM / XG259CM / VG279QM / S2522HG / XG2431 / XG2405 / XG2702 / AW2518HF / AW2521HF / AW2720HF / 24G2U / Omen X 25 | 1440P : XV272UX / MAG274QRF-QD / 27GP850 / 27GN850 / AW2723DF / Omen X 27 / XG27AQM / XG27AQMR / S2721DGFA / Odyssey G7 / EX270QM / VG27AQML1A / XENEON 27QHD240 / XV272UKF / XV272UX 4K : U28G2XU2 / M32UC

The Innocn 27G1S Plus is a 1440p 240hz IPS panel that was just released a couple of weeks ago. On Amazon in the US at least, you can currently get it for $200 with a redeemable coupon on the page.

The original 27G1S was a 1440p 240hz VA panel, so it's very odd that they released a panel with the same name that uses IPS.
I read a lot of people around here, including me, were quite impressed with the original 27G1S. I had to return mine (and two other units) because of terrible artifacting at 240hz, but when it did work, it was impressive. I will say, one thing really bothered me about the original 27G1S; it never turned back on on its own after the monitor went to sleep. I always had to manually turn it back on, even with the OSD setting to wake enabled. I hope they fixed that by now.


No idea if the 27G1S Plus is any good or not. There's one single review for the panel on Amazon - 5 stars and no comment. I'm tempted to just impulse buy it and return my VG27AQML1A which is causing me some eye strain, on top of having lousy motion quality.

Sirius - Perhaps you are also interested since you have tested so many monitors?

I would go with Mini LED a proper one with good scores from rtings.

If I had the money would be OLED without a question, the QD-OLED with superior GLOSSY Screen to be exact there is no turning back when you go OLED everything else becomes a joke.

Whastever you do, do NOT get the matte OLED, it's like buying a perfect OLED and pasting Vaseline smeared with pig shit all over the screen to fool yourself into thinking you solved reflections.
