Acer Nitro XV273K review: 4K, 144Hz and it's G-Sync Compatible

Nvidia’s G-Sync Ultimate monitors may be some of the best gaming monitors I’ve ever laid eyes on, but good gravy do they cost an arm and a leg, with both Acer’s Predator X27 and Asus’ ROG Swift PG27UQ still going for around two grand a pop. The Acer Nitro XV273K might just be the next best thing, though. It’s not a G-Sync Ultimate screen, but this 27in, 4K, 144Hz, FreeSync monitor with DisplayHDR 400 support is one of the select few that’s passed Nvidia’s G-Sync Compatible tests, meaning Nvidia graphics card owners can still take advantage of its variable refresh rate tech for super smooth, tear-free gaming. Sure, no graphics card on the planet is capable of hitting 144fps at 4K right now, but by golly if it isn’t one of the most gorgeous gaming monitors I’ve ever clapped eyes on.
