Acer Predator XB271HU 27"

Overview

The Acer Predator XB271HU pairs well with GeForce-based rigs, where you can employ G-Sync for smooth gameplay. The biggest drawback to an IPS panel like this is its 4ms response time, but I’d happily take it over a TN panel just for the wider viewing angles, plus I saw no evidence of ghosting. The sturdy base and thin bezels are also highlights, and make the Acer Predator XB1 an easy recommendation for gamers on the prowl for a 27-inch, 1440p display.
