Finally, we have the Nitro XV270X P, which offers 5K (5,120 x 2880) resolution in a compact 27-inch form factor. That resolution indicates a high pixel density of 218 pixels per inch (ppi).
Given its gaming pedigree, the Nitro XV270X P can hit 165 Hz at native resolution over DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1. However, using DFR and dropping the resolution to 2560 x 1440, the maximum refresh rate jumps to 330 Hz.
Acer says the Nitro XV270X P, which has an IPS panel, features a native brightness of 350 nits, which can boost to 400 nits in HDR mode. You’ll also get a 1 ms response time and a reported 95 percent coverage of DCI-P3. As for connectivity, Acer provides two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 port, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. For those who need it, there are two built-in 2-watt speakers.
All of Acer’s new gaming monitors will launch in Q2 2026, with the Predator XB273U F6, Predator X34 F3, and the Nitro XV270X P priced at $799.99, $1,199.99, and $799.99, respectively.
