Acer Nitro XZ3 XZ273U Xbmiiphx 27″

Pros: High quality product, the stand is small yet strong so you have room for a mic, keyboard, and a mouse even on a small desk. Came with no defects such as dead pixels or scratches. I would and have recommended this to friends of mine. If its in your price range, and you want something a little faster, or moving from 1080p to 1440p I would purchase this. Edit: This monitor is a strong option for highend gaming. This is the pc I am using for this monitor and have not been bottle necked by the monitor. Been able to run at max graphics settings, at 240hz with oc 0.5 ms response time. No taring. CPU: 12700k, not oc Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS MASTER (E-ATX) Ram: G.SKILL Trident Z5 Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR5 SDRAM DDR5 6000 CL 36 (XMP enabled) Graphics Card: AsRock 6600xt OC PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 GT, 80 Plus Gold 1000W SSD: Western Digital WD BLACK SN750 NVMe M.2 2280 2TB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 HD: WD Black 4TB 7200 RPM SATA 6/Gbs 256MB cache CPU cooler: CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE I forgot to comment on the power cable, I have had monitors in the past where a massive block is on the cable where it connects into the outlet. This is very annoying. So thankfuly this is NOT the case with this monitor, I can only assume the converter/rectifier is in the monitor itself. The power cable is nearly identical to a PSU power cable. Cons: The ability to edit the monitor takes time, there are 4 or 5 different buttons and if you want to change the coloring, lighting, or really anything you are going to have to touch them all at least once. Hard to use at night because even at dimmest setting it is very bright. Overall Review: Very good, best pricing as of this review for a 240 hz 1440p monitor.

Pros: You can feel the power in this monitor. I have a pretty good PC and with this monitor it does feel like future proofing. No dead pixels, nice color balance on non hdr settings, can save multiple profiles for different settings and the frame rate stays at a consistent 240. I have not tried out the speakers though. The HDR looks pretty good both on console and PC. Monitor is the perfect size for a medium-sized desk. Also comes with both display port and HDMI cables. Stand is pretty sturdy. Highly recommend. Cons: The monitor isnt Perfect though. It does get warm. Never had that on another monitor but then again I wasnt running max settings 1440p. Also the set up to get the non-hdr settings correct for you can take a while. It doesnt have a little joystick, but these buttons that feel confusing at times when adjusting. The actual screen itself can get dirty even if just adjusting the screen. Finger prints seem to pop up out of nowhere so so keep it clean. The stand it comes with is pretty stiff and doesnt allow any monitor to freely change from horizontal to vertical unless you screw it horizontal or vertical. Overall Review: 10/10 recommended.

Pros: I didn’t even know this came with HDR before I ordered it, buttery smooth and the contrast is amazing. My first curved monitor and wow it is such a difference vs flat monitors. Highly recommend this for competitive gaming as it has very high refresh rate for 2560 x 1440 P @ 240hz through display port. Stand is amazing easily adjustable with one finger. Cons: Speakers suck. But who really uses those anyways. Only 144hz through HDMI Overall Review: 5/5 nothing wrong besides quiet speakers.

Pros: I do like the refresh rate and it has many options to adjust picture quality. Took a min to get use to the curved screen but it’s growing on me. Cons: The stand that it comes with is very wobbly and the sound quality is great but it’s not very loud. Overall Review: I definitely would not pay the 600 asking for it. The 400 I paid still feels alittle high, like I could buy a TV much cheaper but wouldn’t have gotten the 240 refresh. So meh lol
