Acer Predator XB273K

The Acer XB273K is a very good 4K 144Hz gaming monitor, however, there are some things you should keep in mind, such as its DisplayPort 1.4 limitations – which is something that’s been addressed by the newer 4K 144Hz monitors.

The Acer Predator XB273K Pbmiphzx is a great monitor for playing games. It has a very low input lag and is very responsive, great for even competitive gamers. It supports G-SYNC for nearly tear-free gaming, but unfortunately, the input lag is higher at 60Hz and this might disappoint those with consoles. The response time is very fast and motion looks crisp without much motion blur behind fast-moving content, and the 4k resolution can display more details of your gaming arena.

By eschewing the full-array backlight and 1,000 nits peak brightness, the Acer Predator XB273K will save buyers around $500 while still delivering stunning gaming performance and professional-level color accuracy. It’s one of the best monitors we’ve ever tested.

The Acer Predator XB3 is a nearly perfect compromise between the lowest and highest ends of the 4K 144Hz monitor market.
