The new V2 Nixeus has better bezels than the original but other than Freesync over HDMI 2.0 I believe the panel is the same one so it should be the just as good in all other areas. The new V2 panel has all the features working with Gsync to like LFC and even with it's overdrive off the reports are no ghosting.īoth are great panels I guess it depends on your preferences.

It can be set to off and it still works as it has adaptive anti ghosting or variable overdrive. Very close to the TN experience, the ghosting always works on the nixeus when you have freesync on which is always when gaming. If you don't play FPS or fast movement games you might be just fine but if your coming from a high performance 1440p 144hz TN then you will definitely notice it, the Nixeus wins there hands down and makes the gaming more fluent and immersive IMO. The Acer bezels were great the zero frame on the XF270HUA were really nice but I had to return it because of the overdrive performance when using Freesync, in the games I play I was getting too much ghosting. The Acer sharpness was great, the Nixeus isn't as sharp but not soft by any means I just noticed the Acer was more sharper. I think it was whatever last save you made to the three custom profiles it also saved that to the default or standard, it was annoying but you end up puttying up with it somehow. The Acer has quick access to profiles so you can save a few for quick access but it's set up weird, I don't really remember how it works but it has it's issues. If I try and use the gamma it changes the colour balance and I get and using sRGB the colour RGB are locked and are just right. I just have it set to Standard, sRGB and Gamma off and It's really nicely set up. The Acer has brighter colours and brighter screen but the Nixeus has (at least my panel) much better colour accuracy and uniformity. The Acer has overdrive issues with Freesync, it's Freesync runs better on HDMI 2.0 IMO but still nowhere as good as the Nixeus. If you want the best freesync experience get the Nixeus, I've had both.

The Nixeus has variable overdrive working with freesync.
