PReviously had a PG279Q but had some issues with it such as colours seemed not bright, not sure if thats me first time using a ips monitor tho but brought it brand new and later found out it was refurbished so sent back. Now thinking about getting the Acer XB261HU but is it better overall?

Looking for a 1440p 27"+ Gsync 144hz monitor right now and the PG didnt really do it for me

Thank you all

they both have the same panel, the difference being the bezel only.
I have the PG279Q and I thought it was actually too bright, I am using 25% brightness or something like that. you have to calibrate the colors with any of the profiles online. multiple websites have different color settings you can try.
