Acer Predator XB273K 4K 144Hz Monitor Review: The Next Best Thing

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...

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

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…
