In for our Acer Nitro XV273K review, we were wowed by how sharp and detailed Tomb Raider looked, thanks to having 8.3 million pixels packed into a 27-inch IPS panel screen. That means high pixel density (163 pixels per inch) that you’ll actually notice.
In addition to a 4ms GTG response time and DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, its DisplayHDR 400-certified for brilliant HDR content delivery at 400 nits brightness. While you can’t run HDR with adaptive sync, we found HDR to amplify Call of Duty: WWII’s shadow and highlights with amazingly realistic colors.
