Acer XG270HU 27"
The XG270HU provided a good overall gaming screen, with some strong panel performance but a lack of some of the bells and whistles you will find from some other competing screens. Being a gaming screen there are a few areas of importance to focus on. Response times are nice and low, and the overshoot levels are actually pretty good and slightly better than most fast TN Film gaming displays.

The XG270HU delivers high refresh rate thrills and Freesync smoothness along with 1440p gaming, if your graphics card can handle it of course. Despite its overall awesomeness, it's a no-frills package that's lacking in several areas including zero height and swivel adjustment, no USB ports, and weak built-in speakers. Those aren't deal breakers for many though, and the sweet performance easily outweighs these minor flaws. Plus, the removal of non-essential features make it pretty affordable given its specs.
