Hello everyone,

I wanted to put out a warning to anyone considering purchasing the Acer Predator X27 that it comes with a fan (not a good one at that). For $2k you would have thought they would have spent a bit more time on doing it right. I purchased mine last week, plugged it in, bam instant bad fan. Even took a video of it.

Bad luck man. Either poor QC or it happened during transport/shipping. And i expect to see more problems exactly like this one. And sadly, this might happen later, after few weeks, months or years (too much dust / too high temp over time) when you no longer have waranty. Similar thing to what happens with GPUs fan sometimes.

PS: Vega already mentioned a fan in the cons section of his review of Acer X27 here, so this problem popping up was inevitable. And for $2000 monitor they should have thought about it before it went into production, and maybe an easy way to get access to fan for a replacement or something.

Ouch.

384 LEDs capable of 1000 nits HDR can generate quite a lot of heat, so I'm not surprised they had to add a fan -- but obviously, if it is that bad, I think it's definitely an RMA. Exchange it with a new one.

That said, I agree: A $2000 monitor should have the best fan available. Hopefully they quickly remedy this. Vega appears to like this display very much!

I think I'm a select few that actually likes the look of heat sinks but imagine if they did the back of the monitor in a full black aluminum heat sink that dissipated the heat of the LEDs

That would be dope.

Water cooling for monitors incoming. It's going to look like hoses are going in and out of your monitor
