Our Verdict

Samsung CHG70

Acer Predator X27 bmiphzx

The Acer Predator X27 bmiphzx is a bit better than the Samsung CHG70 unless dark room performance is an important factor. The Predator X27 is much brighter than the CHG70 and has wider viewing angles. The X27 offers a better HDR experience, highlights stand out more in some scenes, and colors are more saturated and vibrant. The VA panel in the CHG70 delivers deeper blacks, and better black uniformity, but worse viewing angles. The CHG70 also has better low input lag.
