WHAT IS THE ACER PREDATOR XB271HU?
The Acer Predator XB271HU is one of a new breed of gaming monitors that not only features the high refresh rate you expect of a gaming display but has the great image quality you'd associate with an IPS panel too.
What’s more, it includes Nvidia’s G-Sync technology for eliminating image tear and stutter, sports a high-end design and a fully adjustable stand as well. Along with the Asus ROG Swift PG279Q, on paper it’s as good as you could possibly hope for from a gaming monitor right now. So does it justify it’s near-£600 asking price?
ACER PREDATOR XB271HU – DESIGN AND FEATURES
There’s no mistaking the XB271HU is a gaming-orientated unit. Featuring splashes of red on its feet, a Transformers-esque logo on the bezel and an angular stand design, it has all the hallmarks. Those red metal feet are a touch over the top for my liking, but otherwise, the finish is fairly muted with matte-black plastic used throughout.
ACER PREDATOR XB271HU – SETUP AND OSD
One of the worst aspects of this monitor is how awkward it is to attach the base to the stand. It uses a hex bolt to pull the two pieces together, and not only is that less convenient than the bolts that have a little flip-up handle with which to tighten them, it’s also tricky to locate the bolt in the threaded hole.
That aside, physical setup is easy thanks to the effortless ergonomic adjustments; the panel just clips into place on the stand.
