Our Verdict

HP OMEN X 25f

Acer Nitro XF252Q Xbmiiprzx

The Acer Nitro XF252Q Xbmiiprzx is a bit better than the HP OMEN X 25f. The XF252Q has better ergonomics, and an optional black frame insertion feature to help improve the clarity of motion. The XF252Q supports HDR, but this doesn't add much. The OMEN X 25f we tested has significantly better black uniformity, so it's a better choice for dark room viewing.
