Acer Predator XB283K KV monitor review

Acer Predator XB283K KV monitor review

pro

  • as of late 2023, for 500€, good value!
  • refresh rates >60hz are amazing, i’m hooked now! – why aren’t there slightly cheaper 90hz monitors for office work?
  • for a gaming monitor (🙄), it looks quite okay

contra

  • next to my macbook air m2 (which according to all reviews has a properly calibrated screen), its colors look very green-heavy
  • 2160p for 28” is a bit too coarse for my taste, i would prefer either 24” or 2880p
  • on the left edge of the screen, the backlight is a bit muted
  • slight but definitely noticable coil whining
  • chunky & ugly external power supply
  • very tight VESA 100 mount, with wayy to short screws, you’re going to have to get some longer ones
  • build quality is not bad, but not exactly 700€-level:
    • the back does not look very good
    • some plastik edges are still rough, probably from the molding process?
