A fast refresh rate and excellent colour reproduction is normally a combination that is hard to come by. Most gamers know the trade off; for a minimum in "ghosting" you will have to sacrifice accurate colour reproduction. With the arrival of 144 Hz monitors that sport a IPS panel this trade off is no longer necessary, Acer was the first manufacturer that could provide us with such a screen and we have tested the Predator XB270HUbprz.
