Fully adjustable matte 144hz 2560x1440 10 bit (8 bit +FRC) Innolux IPS panel with AMD Free-Sync (48-144hz), Disaplayport (144hz), HDMI 1.4 (70hz), HDMI 2.0 (144hz), 4x USB 3.0 and 3.5mm Audio Out. The Innolux IPS panel is wide gamut and supports 95% of the DCI-P3 (HDR) color space natively, so the monitor must be set to the sRGB mode to prevent the over-saturation of SDR media (HDTV/REC 709 and sRGB) color. The XV272 is very accurate out of the box, as well as when set to the HDR and sRGB mode whic should be used to prevent color over-saturation when not viewing HDR content. The XV272UPBMIIPRZX has the same overdrive as the Innolux IPS panel in the VG270UP which means that it is slower than the 144-165hz 1440p AUO AHVA panels.

The Acer XB273K is a lower end version of the X27 and PG27UQ with slightly lower HDR color space coverage, lower maximum brightness (460cdm/2 vs 1000cdm/2), and inferior variable back-ligh dimming since the XB273K only has three dimming zones while the X27 and PG27UQ have 384 dimming zones.
The Acer XB273K has very accurate Standard mode preset (SDR/sRGB & HDR color modes; color controls are locked when HDR is enabled), 144hz (compressed 4:2:2 YCbCr422 color signal called instead of 8 bit 4:4:4 YCbCr444 @120hz and 10 bit 4:4:4 YCbCr444 @98hz), 3840x2160 or 4K matte wide gamut AUO HAVA panel which can cover
87.65% of the DCI-P3 color space, provide 460cdmn/2 peak brightness, and can fully cover the sRGB color space to prevent over-saturation when the sRGB mode SDR Variable Back Light=On) settomg is selected. It has a fully adjustable stand, a monitor hood, 1x Displayport, 1x HDMI 2.0, 4x USB 3.0, 3.5mm Audio Out and Nvidia G-Sync.
Reading the monitors included manual and/or PC Monitors and Tom's Hardware's review is necessary in order to properly understand how to use a wide gamut monitor, and fully make use of all its features such as the back-light dimming (SDR Variable Back Light), and sRGB mode (SDR Colors sRGB) to prevent wide gamut color over-saturation.

The Acer XV273K has an accurate 144hz (achievable only when connected with 2x Displayport cables) 3840x2160 or 4K matte wide gamut AUO AHVA panel which can cover 97% of the DCI-P3 color space, and can fully cover the sRGB color space to prevent over-saturation when the sRGB mode is available, but doing so locks the color controls. It has a fully adjustable stand, a monitor hood, 2x Displayport, 2x HDMI 2.0,4x USB 3.0 and a 3.5mm Audio Out.
The unit tested by TECHSPOT is has
slightly too low preset gamma and inaccurate preset RGB Level balance which causes a preset rose-like tint of light greys and white.

Fully adjustable matte 1920x1080 LG AH-IPS panel with Displayport, HDMI, USB-C, 2x USB 2.0 and 2x USB 3.0. The P2419HC is very accurate, has high 12000:1 contrast and top tiper 60hz gaming performance for an AHVA/IPS/PLS and TN panel.

Matte 2560x1440 144hz VA panel with a fully adjustable stand, Displayport, 2x HDMI and 3.5mm Audio Out. The unit Belgium Hardware tested suffers from black crush caused by slightly too (2.35-2.4) gamma in the 10-40% white range. Both the units tested by
Belgium Hardware and
TECHSPOT have mediocre preset RGB Level accuracy and suffer from an obvious preset blue tint, but the unit TECHSPOT tested has significantly more accurate preset gamma which does not cause black crush.
NEC EA271Q

Fully Adjustable matte 2560x1440 Samsung PLS panel with Disaplyport In & Out for Daisy Chaining, Dual-Link DVI, HDMI 2.0, 4x USB 3.1 including USB-C and 3.5mm Audio In and Out. The NEC is very accurate, supports hardware calibration and has uniformity compensation, but has very high input lag and very slow pixel response times (Over Drive Off), or suffers from very obvious overshoot ghosting (Overdrive On) which makes it only suitable for very casual gaming.

The PRO Vue 27P uses coated tempered glass some call
Plasma Deposition Coating, is fairly accurate
once set to the User mode, but has high input lag (>20ms) for a modern (2019) 1440p monitor. PDC coated monitors are the clearest, least reflective and most vibrant type of glossy monitors, but the black looks greyish due to the perceived black depth decreasing glass covered black bezel. The perceived black depth can be increased with bias lighting (light placed behind the display) or by placing non-stick silver tape tape on the black bezel.
ViewSonic VP2458

Best Reviewed Flicker Free 24-25" 1080p IPS/PLS Monitors buying guide.
Fully adjustable matte 1920x1080 LG AH-IPS with Displayport, HDMI, VGA and 2x USB 3.0. The VP2458 can cover 96% of the sRGB color space out of the box as well as has very accurate preset colors and shades (
impressive nearly linear 2.2 gamma). The overdrive (Response Time setting in the menu) can be set to the Ultra Fast setting to enjoy faster pixel response times without over-shoot ghosting, but PRAD measured a 26.8ms signal delay with an oscilloscope which is very high since they usually measure less than 10ms for non-professionally oriented monitors. The very high input lake prevents the VP2458 from being a good for 60hz gaming like most of its competitors, but it's still suitable for casual gaming and has great image quality for all uses. Lastly, while not noted in the review by PRAD, I suspect that the VP2458 suffers from <1mm thick vertical black lines which span from top to bottom of the panel when viewing some light colors such as light blue and orange since the rest of the four sided fake bezel or frame-less LG AH-IPS panels do.

Matte curved 144hz 2560x1440 wide gamut VA panel with AMD Free-Sync (48-144hz), 2x Displayport, 2x HDMI 2.0 and 3.5mm Audio Out. The wide gamut panel is quite accurate gamma and RGB level preset wise, but does not have a properly functioning sRGB mode resulting in the over-saturation of SDR (HDTV/REC 709 and sRB) color by 25-30% and can only cover 86% of the HDR (DCI-P3) color space, as well as fails to meet any of the criteria required to achieve the HDR standard. It suffers from a bit of banding when displaying the
Powered By Dawn Engine image. The Response Time settings do not work and it has slower pixel response times than many competitors, but does not suffer from overshoot ghosting.
