Acer announces 144hz IPS 1440p G-SYNC! [XB270HU, XG270HU]

[coercion]

I got a question about 144hz ips monitor.
Ips monitors have usually a response time of 5-8ms. I thought that is why we didn't see any 120hz ips monitors up today. Is this new kind of ips panel with low response time? Otherwise it is not a good idea to force standard ips panels to higher refresh rates. A 4K 60hz Gsync Ips panel would be a better idea in my opinion.

I want to know more about this panel. I 'assume' when they refer to IPS that it is a real IPS panel from LG. This would probably mean a panel that the market hasn't seen before, unless they've managed to get an existing one to reliably accept 144Hz (similar to what happened for the Overlord Tempests and Yamakasi Catleap 2Bs). Is it too much to hope that they've somehow found a way to get the pixel response time of IPS down a bit further than what the market has seen so far?

Or, is it just going to be the M270DAN02.3 AHVA panel from AU Optronics? This one was announced as 144Hz-capable a few months back, but the declared response time is 12ms GTG, just like all of their 2560x1440 AHVA panels...at 144Hz, I understand (thanks to Chief) that this would ADD motion blur compared to something like the Tempest/Catleap

I assume its heavily over-driven to achieve low response times.

The ROG Swift response time is 12ms @ 60hz, and 7ms @ 144hz for example, but its heavily overdrives too to get to 1 ms. And that 1 ms is gtg also.
So i read. I dont own it.

Thanks for the heads up!

Sources tell me it won't have LightBoost/ULMB. IPS just ain't fast enough yet, alas (for artifacts-free strobing at 120Hz). The other monitor, on the other hand, should have it but the specific strobe technology is still TBA (LightBoost, Turbo240, MOTION240, ULMB, BENQ Blur Reduction, etc.)

According to NVIDIA, the XB270HU will support ULMB after all!

Oh man! Swift, This or XL2730Z? I have no idea what to choose!

Hmm ya according to NVIDIA this Acer will have ULMB. This will destroy the Swift..

Update: 22/1/15: Confirmed with Acer that the XB270HU will feature the ULMB (Ultra-Low Motion Blur) mode which is good news. Still waiting on confirmation of interface options.

Ye, but thats the TN one, right? So strobing is still restricted to TN it seems.
Not that i ever liked flicker, but i wouldnt mind that as an option on a IPS.

Nope, it's the 'IPS-type' one
