All things considered we felt that the Acer XB270HU performed the best in these specific tests. The response times were slightly slower than the Asus ROG Swift PG278Q and BenQ XL2720Z, but the benefit of that was that there was no overshoot on the Acer, whereas the others showed some moderate levels. The Acer also has a native blur reduction mode (ULMB) and G-sync support which we will look at shortly. One other thing to note here is that with the exception of the Asus ROG Swift PG278Q these other screens can only support a maximum 1920 x 1080 resolution, and so there's a huge jump in resolution and image quality when extending to a 2560 x 1440 panel in the XB270HU. You get the not-to-be-underestimated benefits of the IPS-type panel as well from the Acer, with wider viewing angles and a more stable image appearance compared with the TN Film models. Overall a very impressive performance from the XB270HU.
