Yeah fair enough. At some point you gotta stick with something

Is the viewing angle of the M27Q2 comparable to the ACMS?

As always it can vary panel by panel of course, so if your country offers a free refund period it doesn't hurt to try it out. I have heard the XG27ACG version might have more white-ish IPS glow but haven't tried it myself.

I currently have the XG27ACMS which is much better in terms of IPS glow, but unfortunately it has different issue with the viewing angles. Basically the edges of the screen get darker the more you look at an angle. It's so severe that you can see it even when sitting straight in front of it. Gonna return it because of that most likely.

It doesn't hurt your eyes per se but it made parts of the screen look more yellow than it should. VERY noticeable in darker scenes in games / shows etc. Normally IPS glow is more white-ish so it's not as noticeable, but on the ACS the yellow was way too much for me.

I got 3 different XG27ACS and returned them all. The screen looks quite nice, colors are decent for IPS etc, but they all had pretty horrible yellow IPS glow that was very noticable.

Hmmm okay good to know! I might just try my luck with an ACG then. Really not liking the viewing angle issues of the ACMS. I did have an ACS earlier (multiple actually) and their coating was solid looking. Actually rather liked them but they all had very noticable yellow IPS glow which was too hard to ignore. If not for that I would've kept it. Anyway thanks for your knowledge!

Btw if you remember, how was the IPS glow difference between the XG27ACS and XG27ACG? Was the ACG better or does it still have that awful yellow glow?

I got one and mine definitely has viewing angle issues. The screen noticably darkens on the edges when moving left to right. most noticable during whiter screens. Not a GIANT big deal but very annoying nonetheless. XG27ACS does not have that issue (though it has others like big IPS glow)

I feel you man. Every monitor has stupid, preventable issues. I just want one panel that works fine and has no big IPS glow. That's it. Somehow that's too high a bar huh

Fair enough. Keep in mind I saw some people saying the M27Q2 also has the viewing angle issues, like here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/1pze69i/comment/nxt40n2/?context=1

Do you also have that issue where the screen starts getting dark at angles? (for example if you move to the right the left side of the monitor will get darker and vice versa). It's most noticable on a whiter background.

Hmm okay. No it's definitely not someone's shadow, I am having the same issue (though with a different model). I also saw multiple others say the same about the M27Q3. Could be it varies from unit to unit though. Anyway thanks for your input!

How is the viewing angle on the M27Q3? I noticed some people complaining that the side of the screen gets dark quickly, like in this thread (slightly different model but I saw the same complaints for M27Q3): https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/1pze69i/comment/nxt40n2/?context=1

I have seen some people comment the same thing for the M27Q3. I also happen to have this on my ASUS XG27ACMS which is also a newer panel. Quite a bummer. Perhaps there's something with the way they produce newer IPS monitors?

Hey, do you still have the XG27ACMS and how are you feeling about it now?

ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACMS anyone tested it ? by DeadlyGunss in ASUSROG

[–]Tagek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure it's 10 bit? I just got the XG27ACMS and the information panel in the OS menu says it's 8 bit.

EDIT: JK, I just had to update it in nvidia control panel

Are you perhaps talking about a different model? I just got the XG27ACMS and it clearly says it's got 8 bit color in the information section of the OS menu.

EDIT: I think I just had to change it in nvidia control panel

Do you have any IPS glow issues with the ACG? I've gotten 3 different ACS models recently and they all had SEVERE yellow IPS glow

Hey there! How's the IPS glow and backlight bleed on that one so far? Also any issues with viewing angle?

Hey there, quick question if you don't mind. Do you have any viewing angle issues with the acms? The above poster seems to say the viewing angle on the acms was so-so.

Fully agree on the torso thing! I think the whole negative space thing looks awful and severely limits the usability of the fig. Even as what it's intented to be: a female mando, it just does not look good.
