Our Verdict

Acer Predator XB271HU Bmiprz

AOC AGON AG271QX

These are two different types of monitors, each with their advantages and disadvantages. The Acer Predator XB271HU Bmiprz is a G-SYNC compatible monitor that has wider viewing angles, so the image remains accurate when viewed from the side. The Acer also has better ergonomics, so you can position it to your liking with ease. If however, you have a dark room and sit straight in front, the FreeSync compatible AOC AGON AG271QX has more uniform blacks and a faster response time that leaves only a small blur trail behind fast-moving content.
