Me on the other hand love whole new XB design and after 3 horrible PGs I am more than willing to try my luck with XB.

No info about them in my country yet so I guess Acer started with small batch.

I have an Acer XB271 enroute, and I have a PG279Q that I just received yesterday sitting on my desk. Unfortunately, the PG279Q has some funky hole in the screen causing some light to come through. The backlight bleeding on my PG is solid, so I'll have a good unit for comparison.

If the Acer checks out, I'll keep it. I'm not a fan of the pictures of the stand, but if the panel is good, it'll be a keeper. The Asus will go back for a refund. If the Acer is bad, they both go back, except I'll request a replacement be sent from Newegg for the Asus. I just like the stand and bezel of that one much more (although I haven't seen the Acer in person, so my opinion may change).

I've said this on the other thread but I really don't get the excitement over this. Same panel as the PG279Q which is plagued with bleed and glow issues. A terrible example of IPS all round really... I can count the number of good examples I've seen on one hand. Why anyone thinks the XB271 will be any different is beyond me. It's ACER, why would it be?? Have you all forgotten the XB270HU? I'll eat my face if this turns out to be a far better monitor than the PG279Q.

I think some of the hope is that it will be a better monitor than the PG279Q. There have been a few monitors, one at least, posted in that thread that were perfect. Therefore it is possible for this panel to arrive without any faults. The hope is that any of the stuff done to the panel afterwards is better here than it is there. Be that the bezel, electronics, whatever crap they add to the panel to make it unique. The hope is that extra stuff is what is causing the problems on the Asus so maybe it won't cause the problems here.

That's the hope at least, how likely that is is another story.

Here goes nothing, I guess.

Been following/lurking the Asus thread since it was created. Wont go near that monitor. Hopefully Acer has a better bunch (wishful thinking), otherwise its the TN Dell for me

I can deal with whatever TN throws at me, but not screen hogging/immersion breaking glow. Dont know where Active Matrix sits in comparison to IPS(AHVA) and TN, but that's what my panel is apparently (shares some similar viewing issues as TN's ie, just not as bad as I've read about).

Believe me, I'm not expecting anything better than what I had to deal with with the XB270HU. I'm chasing a unicorn at this point and I'm okay with that.

It's actually scheduled for delivery tomorrow now. We'll see.

My thoughts exactly.
Who has links that gives info on specific AUO panel used in 271/279

Yep, same here. Asus has much better design but quality sucks at the moment. Hopefully Acer took his thing to put things in order. But I'm not very optimistic.

I think there are no detailed information about panel. It is slightly upgraded version of XB270HU but unfortunately this has more flaws. Especially uniformity issue. I would better take 144Hz without uniformity problems than 165Hz with.

No reviews yet. Waiting eagerly for tft but I think they didn't even mention it on twitter. So I guess it will take at least 2 weeks. Hopefully some user reviews will come soon...
