Our Verdict
ASUS VG279QM
Acer Nitro XV252Q Fbmiiprx
The ASUS VG279QM is a bit better overall than the Acer Nitro XV252Q Fbmiiprx, but the differences are very minor. The ASUS has slightly better ergonomics and a wider horizontal viewing angle, and its backlight strobing feature, also known as black frame insertion, is a bit more versatile. The Acer, on the other hand, has better reflection handling, so it's a bit better for a bright room.
