The gaming landscape is evolving, with 1440p resolution (2560×1440) swiftly emerging as the new standard for PC gaming, surpassing 1080p for all but the most demanding esports enthusiasts. If you’re ready to elevate your gaming experience, MicroCenter has an exceptional offer waiting for you — and remarkably, they’re willing to ship it directly to you instead of requiring an in-store visit. Presently, a 27-inch Acer Predator gaming monitor is up for grabs at an enticing price of just $199.99.
Renowned among gamers for its blend of impressive specifications and reasonable pricing, the Predator series has garnered a dedicated fan base. The XB273U, featuring a 27-inch IPS panel, stands out for its superior color accuracy compared to standard VA panels. This monitor boasts a commendable 165Hz refresh rate and a lightning-fast 1ms response time, catering to the demands of avid gamers.
Supporting both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync for tear-free visuals, the panel is also HDR-certified, enhancing the overall viewing experience. While it may lack extensive extras, with only standard DisplayPort and HDMI inputs along with a pair of USB-A ports on the left-hand bezel, the inclusion of a deluxe stand in the package adds to its appeal, offering versatility in setup configurations.
MicroCenter claims a regular price of $499.99 for this display, although Amazon lists the same model at $249.99. Nonetheless, securing a 1440p screen capable of handling super-fast framerates for just $200 is an opportunity not to be overlooked. Act swiftly to place your order, as MicroCenter deals are known to sell out quickly.
