It simply makes everything sharper, and in my professional opinion made things look too sharp. If you're not a fan of presets there's an additional menu that lets you make more precise tweaks for Gamma, Saturation, Color Temperature and a feature called "Super Sharpness" which is a binary sharpness setting that's either on or off. The menu is full-featured, with 5 screen presets available for Movie, Standard, etc. On more than one occasion, I accidentally hit the power button when I meant to hit the right-most menu button, forcing me to start my menu navigation process from scratch. Though it makes for a nice, clean look, anytime I needed to make an adjustment I found myself fumbling around like Velma in Scooby-Doo after losing her glasses and feeling my way around. It's easily one of the big tradeoffs in going with a less expensive monitor.īelow the power light are the XG270HU's menu buttons, and Acer made the decision to clean up the front of the monitor by putting them under the bezel. Unfortunately that's the only adjustment the stand offers as there's no way to rotate the panel for portrait orientation or to adjust the height. Tilting it requires just the right amount of effort, and once it's set to a comfortable position, it stays put. It can be tilted 15 degrees forward and five degrees back, a range I found quite comfortable with my current office setup. The stand is sturdy and putting it together doesn't require any tools since it snaps together. The top part of the monitor itself is quite slim, but the trade-off for its slim profile is that it uses an external power brick, but it's thankfully small and unassuming, making it easy to tuck away. The filter covering the screen stretches just a millimeter or 2 from the edges, but it's an illusion as the actual bezel is closer to 5 or 6 millimeters. When the monitor is turned off, it tricks you into thinking its bezel is smaller than it actually is. The XG270HU is an attractive, light monitor with metallic copper accents on the stand and at the bottom of the monitor itself, making it resemble its smaller sibling the GN246HL. The XG model I'm looking at its its midrange 1440p model with FreeSync and 144Hz refresh rate, and there's also a similar model with the XB designation that has G-Sync as well if you're on the green team. Compared to the Predator line you get fewer features for a lot less money, as the XG270HU is just around $440 on Amazon and £415 on Amazon UKcompared to a similarly equipped Predator model at $778.

The XG/B series is the company's midrange monitor line with more emphasis on gaming than its entry-level models, but also a step below the company's high-quality, high-priced Predator series.

Acer's XG270HU FreeSync Gaming Monitor is a great option for PC gamers looking to upgrade to 1440p without spending big money on lots of bells and whistles.
