Our Verdict
Acer Nitro VG271 Pbmiipx
Acer Nitro XF243Y Pbmiiprx
Overall, the Acer Nitro XF243Y is better than the Acer Nitro VG271 Pbmiipx. The XF243Y performs better gaming-wise because it has a much faster response time and a slightly higher refresh rate. The XF243Y is also a better choice for sharing content and co-op gaming due to its wider viewing angles and superior ergonomics. However, the VG271 gets brighter, especially in HDR, and it has a Picture-in-Picture/Picture-by-Picture mode that can be useful for streamers using a second computer to stream.
