Our Verdict

Acer Nitro VG271UP Pbmiipx

Gigabyte M27Q (rev. 1.0)

The Gigabyte M27Q (rev. 1.0) is better than the Acer Nitro VG271UP Pbmiipx for most uses. The Gigabyte has a higher refresh rate and faster response time to deliver a clearer image in fast-moving scenes. It also has better ergonomics and gets brighter to fight glare. It has more features, like a USB hub with two USB 3.0s and a USB-C that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, a Picture-in-Picture mode, and a built-in KVM.
