27" Acer XB270HU gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

For graphics color quality, the Acer XB270HU has an excellent color depth of 8 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. In terms of pixel density, the Acer XB270HU has an excellent density of 109 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. For the average response rate, the Acer XB270HU scores 5.5 ms, which ensures effective synchronization with the high refresh rate. The Acer XB270HU has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. The monitor has a VESA mount. Acer XB270HU has a total input lag of 13 ms, which is excellent among the competition. To compensate for graphically demanding games, the Acer XB270HU has a very good low end adaptive refresh rate of 30 Hz that can adapt to more lower frame rate drops. For the extremely fast frame rates, the Acer XB270HU has a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. It is worth noting that the Acer XB270HU is a relatively old monitor. Without the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is not compatible with AMD graphics cards. The minimum response rate of Acer XB270HU is 4 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. The brightness of Acer XB270HU is lower than other monitors. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1000 : 1.
