Our Verdict

ASUS ROG Swift 360Hz PG259QN

Acer Nitro XV252Q Fbmiiprx

The Acer Nitro XV252Q Fbmiiprx is slightly better for gaming than the ASUS ROG Swift 360Hz PG259QN. The Acer has a slightly faster refresh rate and better motion handling overall, with less blur behind fast-moving objects. The Acer also has better ergonomics, so it's easier to place it in an ideal viewing position. The ASUS is a bit better than the Acer if you have an NVIDIA graphics card, as it supports NVIDIA's Reflex Latency Analyzer as well as variable overdrive, ensuring a more visually consistent gaming experience.
