After reading countless articles and complains and testing for myself I have a conclusion on XB271HK unit.
Despite advertising it as 10 bit with ability to display 1.07 billion colors it simply a lie. Unless Acer can point out what people doing wrong and how come after taking all proper steps 10 bit is not activating I am calling XB271HK a product with false advertisement.
My Setup.
EVGA 1080ti GPU with DisplayPort Cable connected to XB271HK.
I tried several cables all available DP ports and drivers.
Some people saying they did a research and it looks like XB271HK is not a true 10 Bit panel but it’s using what's called FRC and Dithering. Well, I call BS on that as well because I don't see anywhere that ACER specifies that 1.07B colors are achieved using FRC. I'll tell you more some may suggest that because I have consumer GPU and not Quattro or AMD Firesomething it's not working. Well that's a BS because 10bit according to Nvidia supported in all GTX cards from 200 series.
As you can see I am upset and helpless because I was looking forward to this so much. Anyhow, don't get me wrong I LOVE this monitor. IT's AAAAMAZING. But I want to have what I paid for. And I paid for 10 bit monitor. In my understanding all my hardware support 10 bit so what is going on?
Apologizing for a little bit of QQ, but if anyone who actually knows the subject and can may be get some links answer, I am not sure if Acer monitoring this forum but I'd love to hear from them why our very expensive monitor is not doing what they said it will.
Thank you guys!
