PG279Q swift come with tn panel

thats why i dont buy it -- "

i cant find 144hz 2k ips with g-sync ..

if g-sync dont make a high difference

i think i buy mg279q ..

 
MG279Q, you can use this but the freesync will not work.
PG278Q, you can use this but this is a TN panel
Acer XB270HU is the only 144Hz IPS panel with GSync available today but this monitor does not support nVidia 3D-Vision.
GSync does not worth the extra price if you can get 144Hz IPS 100-200Hz, unless you can really afford it.
144Hz refresh rate and IPS/VA panel are the most important specs you need to pay attention to.
I have been using XB270HU since more than 1 month now :)
 
Since you mentioned it...
XB270HU? Yes, that is "normal" in the meaning that it happens very often on XB270HU and you better RMA it, if you see something like this.
XB270HU is the only 144Hz IPS monitor with Gsync and the best monitor available today but it is also incredibly famous for it's RMA rate.
Dead pixel, backlight bleeding, etc. are very often on XB270HU and these are reasons for RMA.
Acer's QC is a big issue on XB270HU, I would recommend you to buy it from a store well-known for it's customer support like amazon, etc.
Me and 3 of my friends bought it. All 3 went around each 2-3 RMAs to get a working one and I am the only lucky one to get a working one out of the first box. Yes, the RMA rate is that bad.
Just RMA it again and again until you get a working one.

The color is far superior compared to any TN panel including PG278Q. XB270HU is the best one out there at the momenat and it is worth the risk going to all of those RMAs.
I heard that the QC should be better starting the June or July production batch but I could not confirm this. Me and my friends got the older batch since we bought it in April.
