A new best 1440p monitor from Acer recently appeared in the USA. The Acer Nitro ED271U Xbmiipx relies on a 27-inch VA panel with WQHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels), up to 240 Hz refresh rate, DisplayHDR 400 certification, and extreme 1000 R curvature.

The 1440p gaming monitor comes with a 2500:1 contrast ratio, 400 cd/m² brightness, 8-bit color depth, 95 percent sRGB, and two integrated 3-watt speakers. FreeSync Premium is represented as anti-tearing technology.
