Acer Nitro XV271U M3 (27" 1440p 180Hz IPS)

The XV271U M3 is Acer's mainstream 1440p Nitro: a 27-inch IPS panel at 180Hz with 95% DCI-P3 coverage, an enthusiast-tier all-rounder. The higher resolution and wide-gamut coverage make it balanced for gaming and color-aware work. Its HDR is limited, and there's no USB-C input, so single-cable laptop users should weigh that.
