Acer Readies XZ270X and XZ320QX VA Monitors with 240 Hz Refreshing
Acer is slowly rolling out its new monitors at some Chinese retailers and today we get to see their specifications. The two monitors in question are named XZ270X and XZ320QX respectively. The XZ270X is a 27-inch curved model with 1500R curvature applied, while its bigger brother XZ320QX has a 32-inch panel with 1800R curvature. Both models rock a 1920x1080p VA-type panel with a refresh rate of 240 Hz. The VA panels in question are a new breed from CSOT and they feature 4000:1 contrast ratio.
The panels are advertised with 1 ms response time and 250 nits brightness. Both monitors offer 178-degree viewing angles and the ability to represent 16.7 million colors with sRGB (72% NTSC) color gamut. For I/O, Acer has equipped these monitors with one DisplayPort, one 3.5 mm audio jack, and two HDMI connectors. There are two 2 W stereo speakers as well. The Chinese retailer lists the 27-inch model for roughly $310 and the 32-inch model for around $420.

VA panels are great for TV's, if viewing angles are not important (unless you pick the "right" models that is). But for high fps / fast paced PC gaming, nah. Not good. Never will be.
VA can be upto 50ms in B2W/W2B transitionings. Slightly more when panel is cold. Less when warm but never comes close to TN/IPS.
I have in fact, had zero issues with it. Then again, I have to admit that the high refresh rate doesn't seem to do squat either, but it's not as if I've done a side by side comparison to my regular 4k 60Hz IPS panel.
So until someone can show some actual proof, I call BS on the whole smearing thing, or you got a really crappy panel or something.
Also, trying to watch the videos on YouTube trying to show the issue, just makes me feel motion sick as people can apparently not set up a a tripod or similar, so it seems to as much shaky camera effect as anything else. Now I want to throw up...

Its one of the worse ones, but if the images there still makes you call bs, then i dont know what to tell you lol
No disrespect to TFT Central, but I can't see the issues a lot of people talk about. Yes, IPS glow can be seen sometimes and obviously backlight bleed is very obvious, but the rest of the stuff...
Then again, maybe my eyesight is ruined, having grown up with CRT TVs and screens.
Right, ok, this test sort of does it www.testufo.com/ghosting
However, I can't say I have ever noticed that in any game.
As i said, i dont know what else to tell you.
The G2G across the board is then similar to IPS and TN. Not as fast as the fastest ones. And not fast enough to keep up with 240hz. In that sense, this panel is a pretty big pile of BS, definitely not tweaked for optimal user experience but for optimal spec sheet stats.
The LCD is mainly persistence technology, anyway. It should hold the image without breaks introduced in the motion picture. VA happens to be slow, albeit not breaking its one rule of execution, so it is still commend-worthy.

And yes, curved VA's have a problem with clouding, looking like a batman symbol at times
Anyway I have a Samsung C32HG70 which is advertised as 4ms and the blurring is very minimal even without BFI. It's there, my old Asus 144hz TN panel monitor feels smoother/faster but not by much, but I kind of prefer contrast of a VA for most games. The problem with BFI on the Samsung HG70's is that enabling it dramatically reduces brightness, so I leave it off.
