The limited (but quite adequate, imho) conectivity seems to suggest GSync. And not mentioning HDR10 means brightness is not really up to the task - but this is currently a problem for most panels.
Also the price seems a tad high, Acer isn't exactly known for high quality displays and for that kind of money you can get a Dell which has a better track record.
 
Fake HDR. Shame on you Acer. This is really just a fairly basic IPS panel.
 
60Hz works fine for everything but a handful of fast-paced games.

yeah and so does a resolution of 1280x1024...
Does not mean we should not up our standards a move away from 60hz...
Its better for everything, even just browsing the internet to have a higher refresh rate, everything is smoother and nicer to look at.
 
Really? Please show me the other fairly basic IPS panels in this price range with this colour gamut.

They are still limited to low brightness and low static contrast. Quite essential for good, effective HDR. Every panel can oversaturate colors.

For professional work this is a fine panel, but for HDR it is not.
 
I understand, my point is that they aren't going after the bleeding edge HDR market, because at this stage that would likely require a VA panel and localised dimming of the backlight.
What they are offering is a reasonably bright (350nits isn't dull by any means) and high gamut (130% sRGB and 95% DCI-P3 is quite large) panel in a very usable size/res for multimedia professionals.
