Our Verdict
Acer Predator XB271HU Bmiprz
Acer Nitro VG271UP Pbmiipx
The Acer Predator XB271HU Bmiprz is slightly better than the Acer Nitro VG271UP Pbmiipx. The Predator supports G-SYNC VRR, is much easier to position comfortably, and its black uniformity, albeit not good, is not terrible like the Asus. The Asus, on the other hand, supports HDR, though it doesn't add much and has a little better reflection handling to minimize distractions.
