(opens in new tab)So why should you consider upgrading? Largely because it’s got everything you could want in a gaming display. It’s IPS, meaning no ghosting or blurring with superb viewing angles. It has a 144Hz native refresh rate, or a 165Hz overclocked rate, meaning your computer can push titles into triple-figure frame rates, and it includes Nvidia’s G-Sync technology, meaning it’ll eliminate tearing on GeForce powered machines.
While you may want to drop to 1080p to really ramp up the frame rates, the XB271HU supports resolutions of up to 2560 x 1440. Some will feel like they want 4K resolutions on their desktop PC, but frankly for this size 2K resolution is more than enough – and most gamers will pick high frame rates over resolution any day of the week.
In short, there’s a reason why it’s averaging 4.5/5 on Amazon from over 1,000 glowing reviews. This monitor ticks all the right boxes for gamers, and at £480 it’s a steal for what you’re getting. Add it to your basket and say hello to smooth browsing and gaming.
