Our Verdict
Acer Nitro XV273 Xbmiiprzx
ASUS VG279QM
There are very few differences between the Acer Nitro XV273 Xbmiiprzx and the ASUS VG279QM. The ASUS has better ergonomics, a slightly faster response time, and a more versatile black frame insertion feature, which can even be used with a variable refresh rate. On the other hand, the Acer has a much lower input lag at 60Hz, making it a better choice for console gamers.
