Thought I'd make this a deal as have seen lesser quality Acer predators posted for not much less and didn't want people to miss out on this.

Not to be confused with Harvey Norman's TN panel that doesn't have the correct model number which is XB271HUA

Excludes: VIC Regional, Northern Territory, QLD Regional, QLD Far North, WA Regional, SA Regional, WA Remote, PO Box"

The Acer XB271HU gaming monitor features a 27-inch flat screen incorporating LED LCD display technology. It provides a high definition display with a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1440p, and its design does not compromise on speed, with the incorporation of in-plane switching (IPS) technology. The monitor also includes two speakers for stereo sound. The frame features a black matte finish that sits on a black and red futuristic-style base.

    Thanks man, got one.

  • robo11 on 14/07/2018 - 16:28

    Same one? $677 at HN on sale that's about $42 cheaper
    https://www.harveynorman.com.au/acer-27-inch-predator-xb271h…

    edit: woops it's a TN panel

    • ozbjunkie on 14/07/2018 - 16:55

      How kind of them to use the same model number for TN and IPS. Bet they fooled a few people with that trick.

      • Jugganautx on 14/07/2018 - 17:00
        +4

        The TN model number is the same but with an A on the end XB271HU(A). They just haven't added the A on title. Someone should really email them and tell them that 😂

        Although the little serial number underneath the actual title is the TN number.

        • ozbjunkie on 14/07/2018 - 17:05

          Roger that. Also, I think this is close to lowest price ever. I found a mention of $712 elsewhere on ozbargain. (I'm not great at finding the lowest price, I search for the item and go through a few pages but maybe this isn't the most efficient way).

  • takutox on 14/07/2018 - 16:36

    This, or the Asus PG279Q?

    • SLY JD on 14/07/2018 - 16:40

      They have the same panel. Much of a muchness.
      I have the Asus, can't fault it.
      Roll of the dice on light bleeding either model you get.

      I disliked the red legs on the Predator, so went the Asus.

      • Diji1 on 14/07/2018 - 17:10

        They may have ambient lighting differences. Some Asus have downward lighting in the centre of the stand which I dislike compared to Acer light strip.

        Acer is usually understated design compared to Asus.

      • TyronesCheesyEggs on 14/07/2018 - 20:51

        How is your BLB? I got one last week and have a bit of BLB in the top right corner of my screen. Weighing up whether to return it and try my luck for a BLB free panel.

        • SLY JD on 15/07/2018 - 08:41

          I bought mine last year as a refurb unit. No BLB on mine.

      • SydStrand on 14/07/2018 - 21:44

        BLB is just part of the IPS lottery. Same panel, and the QC difference between manufacturers is just anecdotal. IMO, just buy whatever is cheapest or like the look of.

    • Jugganautx on 14/07/2018 - 16:44

      They're the same panel, comes down to person preference and price with Asus costing more for the brand.

      Although I've read Asus's quality control is terrible.

      IPS glow and black blight bleed is a lottery with these panels however so you could get a bad one with either company.

      ^ beat me to it

      • takutox on 14/07/2018 - 18:22

        Thanks guys. I bought a PG279Q yesterday for $828, although saw the same comments online with a lot of QC issues.

        Had no idea that these were the same panels so thanks for that info. Not sure if its worth refunding and swapping so might just stick with it despite the $100 price difference for the design and build quality of the stand/case.

        • SLY JD on 15/07/2018 - 08:42

          Up to you I guess. Do you use it in the dark much?

      • TyronesCheesyEggs on 14/07/2018 - 20:51

        How is your BLB? I got one last week and have a bit of BLB in the top right corner of my screen. Weighing up whether to return it and try my luck for a BLB free panel.

    I currently have a 120hz s27a950d samsung monitor with 2ms response time but according to displaylag.com 22ms input lag. Will this IPS 4ms monitor with 12ms input lag according to displaylag.com be better for me in terms of responsiveness? I play all sorts of games but mainly focused on competitive csgo.

    • Carbon Door on 14/07/2018 - 21:39

      Competitive you would go for the TN model if you're a pro.

        Pretty much if you're not getting dosh for gaming at any level take the quality/4ms lol

      • exit on 15/07/2018 - 00:50

        I guess I should say semi-competitive. Not really earning money but playing to win in leagues

        • Carbon Door on 15/07/2018 - 07:43
          +1

          Go for the ips. It'll look much better than the TN

  • MaxximusD on 14/07/2018 - 18:47

    Easily the best screen I’ve ever owned. Built my rig with this as my primary (with a freesync as a secondary, got it for high refresh rate and IPS panel reason) with a Titan card. Won’t be going away from Gsync from now on.

  • Godric on 14/07/2018 - 18:55

    I have this and it is great, but if you are OCD about ips glow & BLB then good luck with the panel gamble

  • tc423 on 14/07/2018 - 18:57

    Anyone think XB271HU plus ViewSonic VA2719-2K (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/390517) with vesa mount would be a good idea for dual monitor setup?

    • martyn on 15/07/2018 - 08:05

      Yes, I do something similar with the predecessor of this and a 2k IPS Lenovo and it works great

  • ghost88 on 14/07/2018 - 19:11

    I would stay a miles or planets away from this IPS panel :) I returned 3 for the bad BACK LIGHT bleed and bought the X34 and returned 2 of them as well for the exact same shit.. I have the TN version of it and it is soo much better! No way I would spend premium price for shit quality from 2015. However, the money is yours and you are free to spent it. I will wait for the OLED/HDR to hit the market.

    • King Steuart on 14/07/2018 - 19:32

      How far off are we?

      • Kurohayabusa on 14/07/2018 - 20:07

        OLED will probably be a while yet - until they address issues with burn-in, it really isn't suitable for computer use where there are lots of static elements being displayed

        • ghost88 on 15/07/2018 - 01:26

          Well TVs are OLEDs now so it wont be long from Samsung and LG

        • ghost88 on 15/07/2018 - 01:31

          I highly doubt you would get burn-in for every days use computer and if you game then you have nothing to worry about.

        • Kurohayabusa on 15/07/2018 - 10:24

          @ghost88: OLED TVs have been around for years now, and there's a reason why the technology has not shifted towards computer use yet. And it's not because they can't be bothered: OLED is amazing technology with ridiculously fast refresh rates, perfect blacks and low energy use, highly desirable traits for a PC/gaming display. However, it's the burn in that holds it back - TVs and phones use OLED because they either display a constantly changing image with very few static elements in the case of TVs, or are only typically used for a few minutes at a time, in the case of phones. Have a read of this short article for more information.

    Hmm, is this as good as it gets price wise if looking for a monitor that is IPS/1440p/More then 60Hz?
    Started looking for monitors and my OCD in me needs two of the same for a dual monitor setup, but don't want to pay over $1000 for the two combined.

    • huertano on 15/07/2018 - 22:50

      I feel your pain. I've got a 4k 27" and I'm still hesitant to buy this to sit next to it, still knowing that 4k/60Hz isn't good for half the things I'm doing.

    Thanks a lot for posting this Jugganautx, I caved and pulled the trigger this morning.

    Got into analysis paralysis a bit like others. I decided I wanted a high refresh rate monitor with gsync, 27" or bigger. This seems as good as any other out there at the right price point.

        • bogrolls on 17/07/2018 - 19:06

          Yep I was pretty surprised to see may 2018 mfg date on it, not long off the production line.

      Ooo I was just looking to ask someone the same thing, I also ordered on the 16th. When I ordered pretty sure it said there was 3 or even 4 available (don't usually use ebay so don't know how accurate this number is meant to be) and yeah no delivery notification. Have you sent the seller a message? My eta for delivery was meant to be today or tomorrow.

      • dom_christo on 19/07/2018 - 20:45

        Sent them a message this morning, ETA was today.
        No reply so far.

        • iTaco on 20/07/2018 - 20:57

          That's good to know, I still haven't heard from them when I sent a message last night. Kind of beginning to wonder if I am classed as regional VIC though, didn't notice the exclusions when I placed the order, however those exclusions are removed from the current offer so don't know what the deal is. Hopefully the monitors come next week, fingers crossed.

        • iTaco on 23/07/2018 - 19:21

          Have you heard anymore from the seller? I have not heard anything in regards to the message I sent them, no reply from them what so ever. Wondering if I should escalate.
