Our Verdict
Acer Nitro XV272U KVbmiiprzx
Dell G2724D
The Acer Nitro XV272U KVbmiiprzx and the Dell G2724D are both entry-level 1440p gaming monitors. They're very similar overall, but there are some minor differences between them. The Dell is the better choice if you need something for gaming with a PS5, as it supports VRR with the console, which the Xbox doesn't. On the other hand, the Acer has a USB hub that makes it easier to connect devices directly to the monitor, which is great if you don't have any ports available on your computer.
