Predator XB273 27" 280Hz gaming monitor

The Acer Predator XB273 is a 27-inch Full HD gaming monitor built around an IPS panel with a 280Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync Premium support. It targets competitive players who value motion clarity and responsive gameplay above pixel density. The frameless design maximises the visible screen area for a cleaner multi-monitor setup.

Suited for high-frame-rate esports titles

This monitor suits gamers who play fast-paced shooters or MOBA titles and want the smoothest motion a 280Hz panel can deliver. Buyers who need more desktop workspace or sharper text for content creation should look at higher-resolution alternatives. The Full HD resolution also means less demand on the graphics card for high frame rates.

280Hz refresh rate on an IPS panel

The single specification that decides fit is the 280Hz refresh rate combined with IPS technology. It provides the motion handling speed competitive gamers prioritise while keeping wide viewing angles and 99% sRGB colour coverage. If your hardware cannot consistently push frames near that rate, the benefit diminishes.

Questions about this item

Does the Acer Predator XB273 box include a DisplayPort cable, or must I buy one separately to reach 280Hz?

The product facts list only the monitor itself with its 27-inch IPS panel, 1920 x 1080 resolution and 280Hz refresh rate; no cables or accessories are mentioned, so a DisplayPort cable is not confirmed as included.

Between the 280Hz Full HD XB273 and a 1440p model, which Predator should I pick for competitive shooters?

This XB273 delivers 280Hz at 1920 x 1080 with 99% sRGB and AMD FreeSync Premium, favouring maximum frame rate over pixel density for fast-paced titles.

What does the 280Hz figure actually give me once the monitor is connected to my GPU?

At 280Hz the panel refreshes every 3.6 ms, cutting motion blur and input lag so fast-paced movement stays sharp when your graphics card can push matching frame rates.
