Our Verdict
Acer Predator XB273K Pbmiphzx
Acer Nitro XV273 Xbmiiprzx
The Acer Nitro XV273 Xbmiiprzx is better than the Acer Predator XB273K Pbmiphzx. Though they both have an IPS panel, the Nitro XV273 Xbmiiprzx has a better contrast ratio and significantly better black uniformity, as well as better viewing angles. However, the XB273K Pbmiphzx has a 4k resolution, which is great for multitasking. The XB273K Pbmiphzx supports a wide color gamut, but it can't get as bright as the Nitro XV273 Xbmiiprzx.
