Our Verdict

Acer Predator X27 bmiphzx

Acer Predator X25 bmiiprzx

The Acer Predator X27 bmiphzx and the Acer Predator X25 bmiiprzx are part of Acer's Predator gaming lineup. However, they offer different benefits. The X27 is slightly larger and has a 4k resolution for the sharpest image, while the X25 is limited to 1080p but has a higher 360Hz refresh rate. While the 144Hz refresh rate of the X27 is still great, it has slower response times and a surprisingly high input lag for a gaming monitor. The X25 is a bit better for gaming, but if you want a sharper image and larger screen, as well as an exceptional HDR experience, the X27 is a great choice.
