The $1,300 Predator XB3 isn't for the faint of heart. But if you have a system that can push over 100 frames per second at 4K screen resolution, this monster of a monitor might be the perfect match for your overpowered gaming rig. More than that, it's...
Lightweight, sturdy build ; G-Sync, HDR support ; Extremely bright ; High refresh rate and screen resolution ; Vibrant, accurate colors
Confusing menu and button setup ; Lots of plastic, thick bezels ; Chintzy speakers
Should you buy a 4K 144Hz monitor? Well, choosing a 1440p monitor is the more practical option. You’ll get better framerates, and it’ll cost you less. But if you need the ultimate gaming display to match your overpowered rig, the XB3 is as good as it...

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

The Acer Predator XB273U NVbmiiprzx boasts a large, accurate and saturated color gamut and looks fantastic with games, videos and workday apps. It delivers some of the best HDR we’ve seen from an edge-lit monitor and checks all the important...

Today we have a very special product on our test bench. It is a high-refresh-rate monitor with a 27-inch diagonal and 1440p resolution. This is basically the sweet spot for gaming in 2020. Now, the…
Falls in the sweet spot for gaming monitors (in terms of size and resolution);Covers the entire sRGB color gamut and most of the DCI-P3 gamut;Overclockable to 165Hz and fast in terms of response time;Adjustable height, tilt, swivel, and pivot;Our...
Requiers a DisplayPort connection in order for G-Sync to work and to get the 165Hz refresh rate (HDMI “only” goes to 144Hz);Insufficient uniformity of the colors to the left and right side

A premium gaming monitor at a premium price.
Excellent picture detail ; Strong all-round gaming specs ; Good menu options
High price tag ; Ordinary design ; Minimum-spec HDR
One of the best monitors that we’ve seen, despite the high pricetag. Clarity, brightness, and refresh rate all combine to make this a genuine market-leader.

Speed. It's all about speed. That is, effective gaming. A speedy monitor and a speedy response. But that's only part of what the Acer Predator XB273K
Fast: high frame rate, low latency;UltraHD resolution
Comes at quite a cost;Not ideal for critical viewing of dark scenes and images

The arrival of the all-singing, all-dancing Acer X27 came with lots of fanfare thanks to its inclusi It's another 4K 144Hz display, this time priced at £1200 – is it worth buying?!
Excellent overall image quality.
Doesn’t deliver true HDR contrast.

In the fall, we reviewed the Acer Predator X27 and Asus ROG Swift PG27U HDR gaming monitors. Both panels deliver UHD / 4K resolutions with 144Hz refresh rates, pack in HDR10 and extended color gamuts and have full array backlights capable of delivering...
Superb gaming performance ; Out-of-box color accuracy ; 144Hz ; G-Sync ; HDR ; DCI-P3 color ; DisplayHDR 400 certified
Expensive
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...
