Our Verdict
Acer Nitro XV275K P3biipruzx
MSI MAG 274UPF
The Acer Nitro XV275K P3biipruzx and the MSI MAG 274UPF are 27-inch 4k gaming monitors. Both are well-suited to gaming and productivity work, but there are some differences in features. The Acer uses Mini LED backlighting, so it has better picture quality with deeper blacks and brighter highlights. The Acer also delivers better motion handling, so it's the better choice if you play a lot of action games.
