Does anyone know how this panel might compare to the one in the Acer XF27HU for color accuracy and gamut? It's currently $449 at Acer's official rectification store on eBay and based on reviews seems like a good choice for a dual duty gaming/photo editing monitor. I'm looking for something at 144hz, 144P and with free sync that could be used for gaming and photo editing. Ideally I would have two different monitors for photo editing/gaming but it's not in my budget at this time.
josh8855FYI, it's also on sale for $449 at Best Buy, brand new, not re-certified :)
That said, they use the same panel. Color gamut and calibration should be close to identical (panel lottery) if you use a good calibration device. As for out of box calibration, no way to know until the Nixeus is released, but neither Nixeus nor Acer are known for accurate out of box calibration on their gaming displays.
MedionThanks for the reply and the Best Buy tip. Though it looks like the Acer currently on clearance for $569.99 at Best Buy so I may have just missed the $449 chance for a new one lol. But I mean since this Nixeus one has the same panel which is what I was hoping the hear lol I would think it would be close enough to the Acer that any differences wouldn't be enough to worry about. Either of these is a comprise for photos anyway and I hope to be able to get a monitor just for that sometime in the future. I would defiantly calibrate either with my i1 Display Pro and in reviews I've seen of the Acer and the ASUS MG279Q which uses the same panel both show decent if not ideal results after calibration. Since this uses the same panel as well It should be similar and with a better Free Sync range and $399.99 price it seems like the way to go.
