27" Acer Predator XB1 XB271HUT gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

In terms of pixel density, the Acer Predator XB1 XB271HUT has an excellent density of 109 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. For the extremely fast frame rates, the Acer Predator XB1 XB271HUT has a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. For graphics color quality, the Acer Predator XB1 XB271HUT has an excellent color depth of 8 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. The Acer Predator XB1 XB271HUT has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. The monitor has a VESA mount. For the average response rate, the Acer Predator XB1 XB271HUT scores 12 ms, which can cause motion blurring due to ineffective synchronization with the high refresh rate. It is worth noting that the Acer Predator XB1 XB271HUT is a relatively old monitor. Graphically demanding games may cause frame drops outside the adative refresh rate of 144 Hz. The minimum response rate of Acer Predator XB1 XB271HUT is 4 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. Acer Predator XB1 XB271HUT has a total input lag of 22.5 ms, which is bad among the competition. The brightness of Acer Predator XB1 XB271HUT is lower than other monitors. Without the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is not compatible with AMD graphics cards. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1000 : 1.
