It also boasts a speedy 165Hz refresh rate, ensuring this monitor is geared up for fast-paced competitive action. You can of course get speedier monitors by spending more, but these speeds should be comfortably fast for all but the most competitive of gamers.
We reviewed this monitor back in 2020, with testing showing it saw good contrast and colour accuracy results, ensuring this monitor is capable of presenting a colourful and vibrant picture.
HDR also features, but lacks the level of brightness required for a high-end HDR experience. That’s no surprise for a gaming monitor at this price though, as you’ll need to pay a bit more than a truly glorious HDR performance.

Round the back of the monitor, you get USB 3.0, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2a and a Audio Line-Out. It would have been nice to get USB-C too, but that’s currently a rare find with gaming monitors.
We gave the Acer Predator XB273UGS a 4.5 rating when we reviewed last year, and said in our review: “Is it one of best value gaming monitors you can currently buy? Considering this sells for around £200 less than its main competitors, we certainly think so.”
So if you’re looking for a Quad HD gaming monitor, either for your games console or PC, this may well be one of the standout deals this Black Friday.
