Overview

The Acer Predator X27 is a high-end gaming monitor that was launched in 2018. It pledges to deliver stunning picture quality thanks to its 4K UHD resolution, a cinematic HDR experience thanks to impressive HDR peak brightness levels, and buttery-smooth gameplay due to its 144Hz Variable Refresh Rate.

In addition, the monitor boasts a DisplayHDR 1000 standard, making its HDR performance way better than that of the Acer Predator XB273K. It also comes with blinders that help deal with glare and reflection so that users can enjoy the monitor’s high color accuracy and impressive contrast ratio even in a brightly lit environment.

Stick around for the rest of this Acer Predator X27 review to find out what else it has in store, and see whether it measures up to the top computer monitors in the market.

our Verdict

The Acer Predator X27 is a great gaming monitor for those who want a super quick 4ms response time and impressive viewing angles. However, its input lag and color uniformity may not be up to everyone’s standards. Graphic designers may find its high color accuracy appealing, but some may be put off by the apparent clouding.
