Hi guys,,
so I have a question. I currently own a QNIX QX2710 1440p Monitor (not OC). SO i noticed the Acer Predator XB271HU..so my question is....is it worth it for me to get the Acer or is the difference very minimal? I play games mostly (Division, Diablo, MMORPGs, etc...) SO will i see a big difference in how my games look and play? Or just stick to my QNIX? Also if i should get the ACER what about the Acer Predator X34 Curved? Does anyone have any reviews about that monitor over the Acer Predator XB271HU or personal Experience? Thanks

PS Money is not really a issue since i am willing to get a Acer Predator X34 if the experience is worth it.

Current Setup

I7-6700k (OC to 4.6ghz)
32GB 3200 Ram
EVGA-980TI SC edition
Asus Maximus VIII Hero Alpha MB
 
Solution
My understanding from user reviews has been that any Acer or Asus "gaming" monitor above 1080p will most likely have a panel with the following two common problems:
a) back-light bleed
b) bad pixels

The Acer Predator models exhibit these problems and so do the Asus ROG 1440p gaming monitors. If you are going to buy one, get ready to return it unless you can live with the issues.
