New 240Hz Acer XF270HA?

Post by HalfwayDead » 14 Aug 2017, 14:04

I was doing my regular 240Hz price check a couple of days ago and I noticed a new display which I hadn't seen before.
The Acer 27" XF270HA FreeSync display (german amazon). It's 450€ which makes it the 2nd cheapest 240Hz display available here. 55€ more than the AOC display and 40€ less than the BenQ display, not sure which one because it says XL2540 but it says DyAc on the product page.

When I did a Google search for the name I pretty much only found the HU and HB which are both 144Hz but one price comparison website had the monitor with a link to UK amazon. Using the UM.HX0EE.A05 model name I was able to find the official Acer model page which shows the exact same specs as what is advertised on the german amazon page. I'm guessing this means it's legit but it's kinda weird that it's so hard to find.

What do you guys think? I'm kinda thinking about buying it but 450€ still a bunch of money for me so I haven't ordered yet.

I'm just noticing that it would've probably been better to post this in the news category? Sorry :|

That's okay, we're not strict at Blur Busters about which forum to post in. We do the favour of moving a thread to the correct area (and keeping a redirect in the original location), so readers don't get lost.

Thank you for informing us!

Yes, this appears to be a brand new 240 Hz monitor -- in the 27" format.

Ain't no problem for me :D
(I mean, it'd be a nice addition to play around with, but I'm too competitive to use anything that adds extra input lag, even more so when motion blur is already reduced to a very low amount with the 240hz monitors that have a good implementation of overdrive, even without strobing.)

Yes, this model is actually one the cheapest 240hz around (despite its not even 24").
I googled only one user review where the buyer returned it because he didnt like TN, and got IPS PG279Q.

You may become first one to try it and give us a detailed review 8-)
