Acer is bringing the XV273U F5 gaming monitor to North America, offering a significant leap in refresh rate technology for competitive players. The monitor targets the high-end esports market with speeds exceeding standard 360Hz models, offering a potential advantage in fast-paced titles. Buyers looking for the fastest possible visual response times will find this display relevant to their setup.

Dual-mode display offers 540Hz at QHD or 1,000Hz at 720p

The monitor features a 27-inch IPS panel that delivers a native resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels. Acer designed this screen to operate in a dual-mode configuration that balances image clarity with extreme speed. Users can choose between high-resolution performance or maximum frame rates depending on their specific gaming needs.

Specifications

  • Panel Size: 27-inch IPS
  • Native Resolution: 2560 x 1440 (QHD)
  • Native Refresh Rate: 540Hz
  • Overdrive Refresh Rate: 1,000Hz at 720p
  • Price: $699.99

In its standard mode, the display runs at a native 540Hz refresh rate at QHD resolution. When users lower the resolution to 1280 by 720, the panel switches to a 1,000Hz mode for even faster response. The monitor also includes a 1 ms response time that drops to 0.5 ms when overdrive is enabled, aiming to reduce motion blur.

Visual quality is supported by VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification, which allows for 600 nits of peak brightness in HDR content. The panel covers 95 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut and reaches 400 nits in standard dynamic range. Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 ports and two DisplayPort 1.4 inputs to handle high-bandwidth signals. The display supports both FreeSync Premium and G-Sync adaptive sync technologies to prevent screen tearing.

The XV273U F5 is priced at 699.99 USD (around $700) on Amazon. The product is currently listed as temporarily out of stock in North America. Acer previously indicated that the monitor would arrive in the region during the fourth quarter of 2026.

We touched on Acer TravelMate P2 14 AI Intel in our earlier Acer coverage while tracking the vendor's broader hardware strategy. The XV273U F5 features high refresh rate specifications within the high-performance gaming display segment.

The monitor combines a 27-inch IPS panel with a dual-mode refresh rate system that offers either 540Hz at 1440p or 1,000Hz at 720p. It ships with a $700 price tag and is scheduled for a Q4 2026 release in North America.
