Looking for: best 27" 240hz+ counter-strike monitor

[StuckIn2003]

My Acer Nitro XV272U Xb https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/m ... .HX2AA.X03 https://www.amazon.com/Acer-XV272U-Xbmi ... B08M6B6T1H came in today but I only had about 30 mins to get an initial impression.

To re-baseline, I'm coming from a 165hz 27" Omen 27i. I have very high expectations and first impressions I was thoroughly impressed. I was worried I wouldnt notice a big improvement from 165hz but I definitely do!!

The good:
-I'll eventually get this on an arm but the stand was very easy to put together and attach the monitor
-It came with a calibration report print out. I did notice how nice the colors looked and was impressed. This isn't something that usually catches my eye, I'm more about feel and performance.
-Immediately on loading CS, I could notice a much smoother experience. Even just moving around felt smoother
-In game shooting felt so snappy and butter smooth. I put overdrive to extreme along with the motion handling setting. I did not get any noticeable overshoot like on the omen 27i. Textures on maps did not look like a psychedelic experience. It was such a smooth and stable experience in a hectic deathmatch server. I loaded a few different maps to be sure of the textures and all were perfect thus far
-The smoothness even applied to scrolling on web pages, it was so much smoother
-My first time using a black equalizer type setting and it does help out in some spots like d2 CT spawn, nuke vents, and nuke window by ladder
-OSD is easy to use and the Acer display widget can give you some of the controls in an app
-Overclock to 270hz as easy as changing overclock to yes in the OSD!

The bad:
-Unfortunately, this is a worrisome one. Upon setting the black boost to 10, a few minutes later I noticed a screen door effect like you see on some OLED panels. When I logged in to steam I noticed the login screen was burned in because it was static as I configured the monitor. I toggled the black boost back down and then back up and both disappeared. Thanks for that guidance given on this website.

I'll need to monitor that, but overall the monitor definitely performs and agree with ax111 that it feels amazing. I was worried it wouldn't be much of an upgrade but it is on another level of performance. I'll post further details in a day or two. Let me know if I can help answer any questions you may have!

Hi, this panel has appeared in my city and I started to think about it) I have VG279QM and wanna try 2k 240hz, Could you tell do you use 400 dpi with this panel and how it works after several weeks?

I use 800 dpi, no issues after several weeks. It is so smooth for me and the best monitor ive owned. The only pain for me is the clunky OSD

Overall yes, it was the best 240hz panel I ever used, but there is also price two times bigger than my previous all)

I have an Alienware and it is a really good laptop but pretty expensive

Finally I changed my vg279qm to xv272ux and I got used to it, Overall it's the best 240hz panel I ever used, so highly recommend (I had before vg279qm, vg252qx, xv273x, vg258qm, aw2518hf, xf252qx, xl2540, 27GK750F)

Do you have some ufo pursuit shots of that model?

Sorry, nope. But I guess there is real response time with normal overdrive near the 3.6-4.2ms( like Dell https://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/de ... w2721d.htm ) as I see now enemies in CS GO better and I don't see any blur or overshoot and finally I think this IPS panel shows real 240hz experience without overdrives.

Finally with Acer xv272ux I got level 10 on Faceit(solo, 32 years )

Just want to remind that xv272ux the best 240hz panel I ever used for CS GO, good motion clarity, zero input lag. So highly recommend this monitor. Also 2k resolution is awesome for my job. (my english is poor as usual to describe all feelings about this monitor

nice sk1p you are making me want to upgrade

Really hard to find drawbacks of this panel, I had only some issue with black boost, but I just turned it off and increased brightness. Also I had the same issue with vg279qm shadow boost and I kept it turned off.
