Today Acer introduced the Nitro XV282K KV, a 28-inch 4K gaming monitor with an IPS panel, 144 Hz refresh rate, FreeSync Premium and, notably, HDMI 2.1 support. This makes it an excellent choice for players who want to make the most of the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
The HDMI 2.1 display standard is what allows the PS5 and Xbox Series X to produce 4K resolution at up to 120 fps (or 8K at 60 fps), and is necessary to take advantage of the variable refresh rate (VRR). But the standard is quite new and support is still quite scarce – it is currently only found on a handful of 4K gaming TVs from last year and virtually nonexistent on game monitors. The Nitro XV282K KV is the first Acer monitor to support HDMI 2.1 and one of the first gaming monitors in general to do so.
The Nitro XV282K KV will be available in May at a suggested price of $ 899.
