Edit Price dropped to $772 delivered as of 3:30pm AEST…I want my 8 bucks back hehe
Great 27" IPS G-Sync monitor for a decent price. Pretty sure it uses the same panel as the Acer Predator 27", but since they jacked up the price of those, I bought this instead :)
Worked out better imo, since AOC also offers 30 days zero bright dot guarantee: http://www.aocmonitorap.com/au/warranty.php
It's what I'm doing; ancient and dying Dell U2711 to this - and from what I've seen of my brother's G-Sync monitor, it's definitely worth the upgrade for gaming :)
Did the same, went from a Dell U2711 to the Acer Predator HB271HU, 60hz to 144hz/165hz definitely noticeable.
But. but. I love my U2711!
it is very much worth going from 60hz to 144hz(+) I'm not sure this is a deal though. 165hz is a bit strange. 144hz is enough or if you have a super beffy PC 244hz.
My first 144hz monitor was AOC, it was great.
I find i never use G-sync. I play only online FPS games (Fortnite now) so i use ULMB and lock the frame rate.
My understanding is that these are 144Hz out of the box, with an option to overclock to 165Hz (although that small difference isn't noticeable)
It's night and day. It's so much smoother, using a 60Hz display afterwards is really disappointing.
My kingdom for a non-gaming 27" 1440p IPS with good reviews at a good price
What about the Dell Ultrasharps?
Don't forget it's only $799 if you'd rather pickup an Acer XB271HU at a local MSY, Umart, CPL, PC Case Gear, or PLE to name a few.
Price jacking is horrendous on Ebay. See staticice:

Much easier to return the monitor if you notice a dead/stuck pixel and swap for another
Seems they're the TN versions, this is IPS which show as $889 still https://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=acer+xb271… :)
Haven't look at the others but the Umart version is 100% the same at $799 as @googoplex pointed out. Same model number and everything.
It's most assuredly not the same; the umart description has: "Acer Predator XB271HUA G-Sync, 27" 16:9 TN 1ms 144Hz"
It does seem the same at first glance, however the more expensive IPS model is the XB271HU with no A on the end.
Umart is selling it for $889. The $799 version you're seeing is the TN panel version, note the HUA model number, whereas the IPS is just HU. Here's a StaticIce search excluding the TN panel version.
@Mister Plod: Sorry I was misreading the suggestion. The AOC Panel is 799.00 at Umart https://www.umart.com.au/AOC-AGON-AG271QG-27in-165Hz-G-Sync-…
Hmm, to buy now or wait for EOFY sales. Can't decide!
i have this actually.
pretty good! i have tiniest bit of backlight bleeding on two corners, vibrant colours; however you will need to adjust it to get the most out of it
Price has dropped, now $772 delivered as of 3:30pm
(Also got $9.75 tracked from cashrewards which is nice :D )
Got mine today, and although there's no pixel issues, it has very severe backlight bleeding in the corners. So much so that you can see it with the lights on :(
Not sure if they accept returns for that, but I might ask anyway
Is it worth going from 60hz to 100+hz? Noticeable?
