Our Verdict
Acer Nitro XV275K P3biipruzx
Sony INZONE M9 II
The Acer Nitro XV275K P3biipruzx and the Sony INZONE M9 II are both 27-inch 4k gaming monitors with full-array local dimming. The Acer is the better option for most people, as it displays deeper blacks in a dark room with most content if you have local dimming on, has much brighter highlights, displays a wider range of colors more vividly, and has extra features such as USB-C connectivity with 90W of power delivery. However, if you like to game with the PS5, the Sony is a better option, as it has PS5-specific features such as Auto HDR Tone Mapping for the PS5.
