Asus PG279Q Vs. Acer XB271HU or..?

[MisterMorbidity]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to get a new monitor (27/24 inch, G-sync, IPS, 144Hz, 1440), and possibly 2 more of the same one for multi-display gaming in the future. I've done a bit of research and narrowed it down to the PG279Q or XB271HU

For anyone that's had personal experience with both of these monitors, could I please get your opinion, pros & cons, and final decision on the two?

Or even if there are new monitors of the same caliber releasing in the near future, Id love to hear about it too!


Thanks in advance!

Remember though with monitors, your mileage may vary

Thanks AJ.

Noob question, what do you mean by mileage in terms of monitors?

Basically what the phrase means is what others experience you might not and vice versa. It's also commonly used when people ask about overclocking.
