Yes

No

i'm getting mixed signals.

Had this same dilemma a few months back and ended up just going with the RoG Swift because the Predator looks gaudy as fuck.

Haven't had a single issue with my RoG Swift yet so I'd recommend it.

any back bleed?
reviews seen to stress that a lot.

None that I notice desu.

acer

Why?
All answers need a reason behind them

>paying €500 markup so your mouse cursor does not ghost on your desktop, and getting shitty TN as a bonus

144Hz fags are the most retarded

meawhile I am enjoying 2x 4K IPS for the same price.

you really must love your GAY MES

absolutely top kek, 1x4K is impossible to run gaymes on let alone 2x4K.

21:9 is the future of the desktop and videogaymes

Acer

This is Sup Forums, why are you assuming he wants to run gaymes at all?

Already know the overall disadvantage of the two and looked closely at both before.

Both have roughly same quality and would not be surprised if most of the components inside are from the same source.

Difference:
-Asus costs more as it has a better stand (not much more functional than the other, but quality is there) and stronger brand.
-Acer is cheaper as stand is inferior quality (functionality mostly consistent, but slightly less stable due to corner cutting on design) and brand is cheaper.

Rear ports are mostly consistent, but the ACER has two additional ports on the side of the Display (left I think) so for most people you could argue the Acer is better overall with price considered.

Did try to check for release dates but got no where at all. Suspected that Asus got there first and Acer made a cheap clone afterwards, but I can't find reliable sources to confirm (manufacturers don't make the release date clear for their specifications, probably hidden or places somewhere obscure, this is both of them).

You need at least two graphics cards to reliably play games at 4k without stutter or slow FPS, but a NVIDIA GTX 1080 might be good enough for that these days.

2K is mostly good enough.

That said can't wait for a ridiculous 4k 144Hz Asus gaymin monitor to come out which also comes free with a discount coupon for a Asus branded butt plug or cat tail plug (cat tail would be ROG themed).

Will also get graphics card upgrade(s) for that too (one or two, hard to say).

gr8 b8 m8, both of those monitors have IPS panels

this

both of them seem to have problems if you read the threads about them on pc forums.

i want 1440p 144hz ips myself but im waiting for a perfect one to come out.

Get whichever is cheaper. They are about on par with each other.

Which problems are those?

Acer and Asus are both bottom of the bin.
Both die fast, quality is meh and colors could be better.
Get the one you can get cheaper and pray for the best.

I believe they use literally the same panel. The ASUS looks better. I had the previous ROG Swift but sent 3 back due to multiple dead pixels and distracting screen bruising. I now have the MK 1 of the Acer which looks quite bog-standard. There is a small amount of light bleed in the bottom right hand corner but I only ever notice it if I'm looking at a very dark screen in the dark. For me this is very rare but YMMV. Between the two available now I'd probably chance it with the Asus just because the design of the new Acer is so horrible.

Save your money

I had the same dilemma, I decided to buy the xb271hu and im more than satisfied with it. no noticable backlightbleed at all, even at 100% brightness in the dark. The reason i decided to buy the acer one instead of the asus is because the asus one seemed to be having way more issues with quality control.

holy shit. is this too good to be true? whats the catch?

I have a RoG 278Q (the same except freesync) and backlight bleed is visible, but doesnt bother me unless the screen is really dark and i dont have lights on.

Asus is better, Acer has better quality control.

Buy on amazon, if you get a shit panel, return it and try again.

it looks like shit

Read there's an external power supply or something. Sounds stupid for that B class brand...

Grab a Crossover 2795 from ebay

about 300 US and overclocks to 100hz or more, and looks great

Because the Predator is an AHVA panel, which is near IPS colour gamut and viewing angles.

The RoG is fucking nasty TN garbage that belongs in the trash.

PG279Q is AHVA as well.

Can you believe the audacity of these fucking spergs?

Every retard up here is literally trying to tell off their old custom pc for more than they originally would have paid.

the predator can over clock to 200mhz and the swift cannot. so there's that

Op here
Forgot to mention I have a GTX 1080

>The RoG is fucking nasty TN garbage that belongs in the trash.
i have the rog 278q, its not that bad

colors are great once you tweak the settings

the 279q would obviously be better though, since IPS

I can speak for the Acer, but a bunch of asus ips and PWM monitors physically panel-rotate 180

fun shump time

>getting an IPS for videogames
what a retard

They're only great in the center of the screen and bad everywhere else though

It can't. Both are the same panel.
Only real difference on both is gamma shift. The TN variants are pretty fine regarding colors.

lol na bro .. if i look at it straight on the colors are vibrant and even all the way around. It's when you shift angles that shit starts to get distorted .. since im always looking at my screen head on and not from the fucking side its perfect for me

honestly love this monitor

I have the Acer and aside from one dead pixel in the corner cant complain. Cant see any light bleed either without long exposure photo in the dark.

>one dead pixel
why are you not returning it? that would drive me

Because it was 150€ off and had I returned it I wouldnt had gotten as good deal again.

yea, you're a faggot
what monitor do you have?

fucking poorfags are the worst

I actually have 3x 120hz 1440p IPS [spoiler](korean)[/spoiler]

>tfw mg279q
great ips 144hz for freesync fuccbois
i considered this one, but look at this ugly design& fuckhueg bezel. most important thing is shit stand with no height adjustment which makes it absolute garbage tier. i wouldn't cheap out on a monitor you look at all day.

fucking pleb gook

how can they even see with those eyes

Well you're not a champion like me so get the acer.
