27" Acer Predator XB273K Pbmiphzx gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

For graphics color quality, the Acer XB273K Pbmiphzx has an excellent color depth of 8 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. The Acer XB273K Pbmiphzx has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. To compensate for graphically demanding games, the Acer XB273K Pbmiphzx has a very good low end adaptive refresh rate of 20 Hz that can adapt to more lower frame rate drops. For the extremely fast frame rates, the Acer XB273K Pbmiphzx has a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. The monitor has a VESA mount. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. The Acer XB273K Pbmiphzx is a relatively new monitor. In terms of pixel density, the Acer XB273K Pbmiphzx has an excellent density of 164 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. Acer XB273K Pbmiphzx has a total input lag of 15.5 ms, which is bad among the competition. The minimum response rate of Acer XB273K Pbmiphzx is 3.7 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. For the average response rate, the Acer XB273K Pbmiphzx scores 12 ms, which can cause motion blurring due to ineffective synchronization with the high refresh rate. Without the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is not compatible with AMD graphics cards. The brightness of Acer XB273K Pbmiphzx is lower than other monitors. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1005 : 1.
