Our Verdict

Acer Nitro XV272U KVbmiiprzx

Gigabyte M27Q (rev. 1.0)

The Acer Nitro XV272U KVbmiiprzx and the Gigabyte M27Q (rev. 1.0) are very similar. They're both IPS monitors with a 1440p resolution and a 170Hz refresh rate. Gaming-wise, the Acer has better response times, at max refresh rate and 60Hz. It also has significantly better ergonomics because it allows for swivel adjustment and rotation to portrait mode. The Gigabyte has more features, like a USB-C input with DisplayPort Alt Mode and a Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture mode.
