Our Verdict
Acer Nitro XF252Q Xbmiiprzx
HP OMEN X 27
The HP OMEN X 27 is slightly better than the Acer Nitro XF252Q Xbmiiprzx for most uses, but the Acer is slightly better for gaming. The HP has a larger, higher-resolution screen, making it a better choice for multitasking. The XF252Q has much better ergonomics and an optional black frame insertion feature.
