Best Buy reduced the price of the Acer Predator XB27OU by $50 on October 23, 2026. The 27-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor now costs $329.99. This price cut targets players considering a switch from IPS panels to OLED technology at a lower entry cost.
The display utilizes a 26.5-inch QD-OLED panel with a maximum resolution of 2,560 by 1,440 pixels. This QHD resolution is designed to suit mid-range gaming PCs. The hardware places manageable demands on graphics cards for frame rate and resolution performance.
Speed remains a primary feature of the XB27OU. The monitor operates at a 240Hz refresh rate with a gray-to-gray response time of 0.03 milliseconds. This performance level is enabled by the OLED technology and helps prevent the ghosting effects common on slower displays.
The screen includes full support for AMD FreeSync Premium. This feature synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate with the frame rate of the game. The synchronization eliminates screen tearing during gameplay.
Color output represents another key advantage of the QD-OLED panel. The monitor covers 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and maintains a Delta E accuracy figure below 2. It also supports HDR10, a 10-bit color standard that enhances contrast, color depth, and brightness relative to standard dynamic range.
Connectivity options include two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 port. These inputs allow users to connect a gaming PC and multiple consoles to the same screen. The discounted unit is available for purchase at Best Buy.
Tom's Hardware describes the deal as a viable path for gamers to integrate modern display technology into their setups. The $329.99 price point positions the Acer Predator XB27OU as an accessible option for those prioritizing visual fidelity and speed in their hardware upgrades.
