viewsonic XG2703-GS vs Asus PG279Q vs Acer XB271HU

Welcome. Somebody could see these monitors and has a comparison on which best colours look?
Do someone test which one is "smoother"?

They all use the same base panel, and as far as I know, that have virtually the same performance. Any real differences between the three models are going to be OSD features/layout and chassis design. That's it.

I own the XB271HU, and another regular forum member here, RealNC owns the XG2703-GS, so if you have specific questions about either, we'll be able to answer.

While 240Hz TN panels will have better motion clarity than 144Hz IPS panels, they can't match overall picture quality.

144Hz ulmb or 240Hz can be better for fps games type? :)

Depends. It's preference really; different tools for different jobs (144Hz strobed vs 240Hz non-strobed).

That said, the lowest input lag you're going to get is 240 or more frames + 240Hz non-ULMB + V-SYNC OFF regardless.

The AOC Agon AG271QG has the same panel as the Viewsonic XG2703-GS, Asus PG279Q, and Acer XB271HU. Again, pick the one you like the look and/or price of most.

Also it's best to buy from somewhere with a good return policy, because these monitors sometimes suffer from backlight bleed. If the store you buy from allows you to return the monitor unconditionally, that would be best.
