Our Verdict
Acer Nitro XV273 Xbmiiprzx
ViewSonic Elite XG270
The Acer Nitro XV273 Xbmiiprzx is a bit better than the ViewSonic Elite XG270. Both monitors offer nearly identical features and also perform similarly, but the Acer has better black uniformity and color accuracy, and it can get brighter. Furthermore, the Acer has better reflection handling and text clarity.
