Acer Nitro XV273K

Added the Review by Tom's Hardware and to my Best Reviewed Flicker Free 27" 4-5K AHVA/IPS/PLS buying guide.

The Acer XV273K has an accurate 144hz (achievable only when connected with 2x Displayport cables) 3840x2160 or 4K matte wide gamut AUO AHVA panel which can cover 97% of the DCI-P3 color space, and can fully cover the sRGB color space to prevent over-saturation when the sRGB mode is available, but doing so locks the color controls.  It has a fully adjustable stand, a monitor hood, 2x Displayport, 2x HDMI 2.0,4x USB 3.0 and a 3.5mm Audio Out.


AOC U2777 UHD

Added the Review by Playwares and to my Best Reviewed Flicker Free 27" 4-5K AHVA/IPS/PLS buying guide.

Matte 3840x2160 LG AH-IPS panel with Displayport, Dual-Link DVI (3840x2160 @30hz), HDMI 2.0, VGA, 4x USB 3.0 and 3.5mm In & Out.  The preset gamma (Mode 1) has low preset gamma of 2.05 which results in the monitor being washed out.  Setting the Gamma to Mode 2 increases the accuracy and gamma average to 2.26 resulting in good image quality.  It has a 22ms delay (measured with the SMT Tool) versus <8ms for most competitors.


MSI NXG251R

Added the Review by Playwares to my Best Reviewed Flicker 240hz TN Panels buying guide.

Matte 1920x1080 240hz with a fully adjustable stand, Nvidia G-Sync (30-240hz), 144hz ULMB (back-light strobing) Displayport, HDMI (60hz), 3x USB 31 and 3.5mm Audio Out.  The default Gaming mode offers fairly accurate color preset performance.  It has negligible input lag (3ms measured with the SMT Tool) and very fast pixel response times with minimal overshoot when the Fast Response Time setting is used.


Philips 276E8VJSB

Added the Review by PC Monitors and to my Best Reviewed Flicker Free 27" 4-5K AHVA/IPS/PLS buying guide.

The Philips uses a very accurate 4K fake bezel or frame-less LG AH-IPS panel with Displayport, 2x HDMI 2.0 and a 3.5mm Audio Out jack.  Set the overdrive (Response Time) to Faster for the best performance.  The unit PC Monitors tested is slightly less accurate than the other two, but still very accurate, especially when considering the price.


Samsung S27R750QEI

Added the Review by =DEAD= and Rtings to my Best Reviewed Flicker Free 144-165hz 1440p Monitors buying guides.

Non-curved and non-semi-wide gamut matte 144hz 2560x1440 Samsung VA panel with HDMI, mini-Displayport and USB 2.0.  The unit =DEAD= tested is fairly accurate aside from the low preset gamma which can be improved by selected Gamma Mode 2.  It suffers from dark scene banding, but it is not nearly as bad as the Dell S2417DG, S2716DG and ViewSonic XG2402.  It has high input lag at 60hz (25ms; Rtings measurement) for a monitor.
