Hi All, 

I am looking at getting one of the Predator XB273UGS monitors as they seem pretty ***** good, however The Acer Website is incredibly confusing /lacking information when trying to look at which Monitor I want and potentially spending around £500, as the Overview page is showing details for what I can see as a completely different Monitor, just the same 'XB3' name reference.

The site shows 2 different versions of the 27" XB273UGS with different 'Part Numbers', 'UM.HX0EE.S05' (New one) and 'UM.HX0EE.S01' (I assume the Old one).
For Ease, I will refer to the 'UM.HX0EE.S05' as S05 and the 'UM.HX0EE.S01' as S01.

The main questions are:

1. Is the S05 just a newer more update version of the S01 ?

2. What are the benefits of an S05 over an S01?

3. The S01 says that it's 'Features' are:
  • Zero Frame
  • EcoDisplay Technology
  • 6-axis Color Adjustment
  • Wide Viewing Angle
  • Flicker-free
  • Bluelight Shield
  • Low Dimming
  • ComfyView
  • VESA Display HDR 400
Whereas the S05 only says 'VESA Display HDR 400'. Does this mean that the S05 Version is missing the other important features such as Flicker-free and Bluelight Shield ?

4. The S05 only states it has 1xDisplay Port and a Headphone connector. Does this mean it does not have a HDMI port, or any USB ports? I ask as apparently it comes WITH an HDMI cable still.

Thanks to whoever may be able to help with this!

    Yeah, the two are in the same model line, so only things like extra features (USB hub), speakers (or not) and ports should be substantially different.

    For information, I found the French datasheet for UM.HX0EE.S01:

    ... and UM.HX0EE.S05 is shipped with USB cable so it also has a USB hub:

    It looks like the S01 has a USB hub included in the monitor and the S05 does not. It also looks like the S01 doesn't have speakers built in and the S05 does.

    After few researches, I think UM.HX0EE.S01 is a "EU" model and UM.HX0EE.S05 is a UK/IRL model with the same specifications apart the power cord.
