Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've read tons of pros and cons of this monitor, and was a bit skeptical at first -- but in the end I just bought it and hoped for the best. Originally it was saying delivered, but when I got home from class it was missing -- thankfully I found out my roommate had brought it in for me and just placed it in an area I couldn't see it. Now, if you're coming from a TN panel you'll probably not like this right off the bat, because you're so used to the washed out colors -- but once you adjust you'll fall in love. I used the settings that someone posted on Reddit (which you can find by searching -> "Acer Predator XB271HU High Accuracy Calibration Settings (Nov 29, 2016)" with the quotation marks) and have no complaints. You'll have to also download and use an ICM profile, but these are the settings you can edit on your monitor that I used Option 2 OSD Settings (240 cd/m2): Picture: Acer eColor Management: User Brightness: 65 Contrast: 50 Blue Light: Off Dark Boost: Off Adaptive Contrast: 0 Color: Gamma: 2.2 Colour Temp: User R Gain: 99 G Gain: 99 B Gain: 98 sRGB Mode: OFF Saturate: 100 6-axis color: Default settings (50) Game Mode: ON Setting: Input: DP DTS: ON OD: Normal Wide Mode: Full Over Clock: ON, 165Hz ULMB: OFF Power LED: Auto off Deep Sleep: ON Information: Resolution: 2560x1440 Input: DP Max Refresh Rate: 165Hz Mode: G-SYNC Mode Game mode: Settings 1 (FYI you must save your custom settings to Settings 1 before using Settings 1)
