I wonder when these two monitors are releasing. No real hint in the PR it seems.

I just bought this. Someone tell me if I have a right to be pissed about this:
If I bring this back to the store should I expect all of them to be like this? Are my expectations too high for an IPS? This is shit.
I've been looking for a 21:9 ultra wide that does 2K and has G-Sync, but no luck so far.
You mean something like this? http://pcdiy.asus.com/2015/06/asus-34-ultrawide-qhd-ips-219-curved-g-sync-monitor/

Yes! Thanks. It looks like it isn't out yet though.
What's the best practice for showing you a representative example?It's hard for other people to know what it actually looks like when you take a picture in the dark, because the apparent amount of backlight bleeding it is going to be entirely dependent on the camera's exposure settings. A good sample and a bad sample may end up looking the same if photographed in the dark with automatic exposure.
What's the best practice for showing you a representative example?
I can absolutely see the bleed during normal use. In dark scenes, and even in some not very dark scenes.
Is this considered the best GSync monitor out there? Anything new on the horizon?
I'm still waiting for the Asus PG2749Q(144Hz, 27-inch, 2560x1440, IPS). It was supposed to be out by now, but has since been delayed. I hear they might be out sometime this month.
Is the 4 new in the model number? Or is that a different model from the PG279Q?
I'm just hoping it's a good monitor, I've been waiting for something that has Gsync and HDMI, but if it's a stinker I'll have to start searching again.

Just got my XB270HU, which is my first g-sync monitor and first time I've been able to go above 60hz since the CRT days (and even then I don't think I had any monitor which could go above 85hz).
I was worried if I'd get any defects with my monitor, but there's no dead pixels or dust stuck behind the screen. I definitely notice some back light bleed in the bottom right corner, but it's only really visible when the screen is completely black. It's a bit annoying, but I can live with it. Is there anyone where who is not experiencing backlight bleed, or is this just a very common thing with this monitor?
In regards to g-sync, it's a very nice feature, but I'm not experiencing it to be as mind blowing as some people made it out to be. I've heard people claim it makes frame drops impossible to notice, or it makes 40 fps feel like 60 fps, and that's not the case at all for me. But it's definitely a big upgrade from v-sync. You don't get the stuttering with v-sync (if framerate is not constant), it doesn't add input lag like v-sync can do, and there's zero screen tearing. And considering how graphics rendering works, g-sync just makes perfect sense.
Framerates higher than 60fps is definitely something I'm noticing to be a huge difference. I played RE6 for a bit at 120fps, and it feels absurdly smooth. It's funny that after playing at 120fps for a while, and then switching back to 60fps, 60fps actually feels choppy in comparison. And then if you go down to 30fps, that just feels like a slideshow. One annoyance is that I wish more games supported higher than 60fps. I installed a lot of games to try them with the new monitor, and too many are locked at 60fps.
I just returned my third one of these monitors. Fuck this monitor. The IPS glow is RIDICULOUS. I might be done with Acer in general.
That sucks. Try the new Asus one, PB279Q I think.
I got an Acer refurb and after an initial issue it's been good for me so far. If I bought it at full price (new) I would not be happy with Acer.
When is it coming out?
Maybe I got lucky but mine has almost no (irregular) backlight glow. I've only ever noticed it once, and that was when all the house lights were off and it was just displaying a black screen.Already out, got the same IPS glow. Stick to TN, if you don't like that glow.
I just bought: 'Acer XB270HUbprz 27-Inch Monitor via AmazonUK
WHOOP WHOOP
got it for 380! because of their current sale with All Open Box items @ Amazon Warehouse 30% off.
Now I have to ask, does this come with a display cable or will I need to buy one?

LOVE IT! No discernable errors. I'm not micro checking for pixel or backlight because it looks great with everything I'm throwing at it and if I can't tell, then it's ok or maybe QC finally got better. So happy I swapped out that new Dell TN for the IPS. This is what I was expecting it to look like.
I also just got one and I'm also thinking that QC got better. It seemed the majority of early panels had some sort of problems, but I don't have anything in the way of dead pixels and very minimal IPS glow.
Yep, when the screen is totally black, the bottom right is a tad brighter, but it doesn't bother me at all.
is there a way to turn off the blue power LED? it's bothering me!
