Reviewer score 56% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from rtings have found:

The Acer XV282K KV is an impressive all-around monitor. It's excellent for gaming because it has quick response times, a high refresh rate, and FreeSync support. It has fantastic ergonomics that make it easy to place in an ideal viewing position. Sadly, it's not the best for watching HDR content because of its low contrast ratio and terrible edge-lit local dimming feature.

Pros

Fantastic ergonomics
High 144Hz refresh rate
Wide viewing angles
Low input lag

Cons

Low contrast ratio
Local dimming feature is terrible

Acer's Nitro XV282K KV is a 28-inch 4K gaming monitor that costs $900. It has two HDMI 2.1 ports and a DisplayPort, so you can plug both next-gen consoles and your PC into the monitor if you want. The Nitro has a one millisecond response time, and while I didn't test that specifically, I haven't felt input lag.

Pros

Bright, vibrant screen
HDR-equipped HDMI 2.1 ports
Comfortable to use

Cons

Not as good as next-gen monitors
