Best Buy reduced the price of the Acer Predator XB27OU to $329.99 on October 23, 2026.

The retailer removed $50 from the monitor's previous cost, making the 27-inch display available for under $330. This price point targets consumers who are considering a switch from standard IPS panels to OLED technology.

The unit features a 26.5-inch QD-OLED panel with a native resolution of 2,560 by 1,440 pixels. Known as QHD or 2K, this resolution aligns with the capabilities of mid-range graphics cards. Those cards can typically maintain high frame rates at this setting without excessive strain.

The screen operates at a 240Hz refresh rate. It also achieves a gray-to-gray response time of 0.03 milliseconds, a speed enabled by the OLED architecture. These specifications reduce motion blur and prevent the ghosting artifacts common on slower displays.

Acer rates the monitor for 99% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut. The panel holds a Delta E accuracy rating of less than 2 and supports HDR10. These features contribute to deeper blacks and higher contrast ratios compared to standard dynamic range outputs.

The device includes two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 port. This configuration allows users to connect a personal computer and multiple game consoles simultaneously. The monitor also supports AMD FreeSync Premium, which synchronizes the screen refresh rate with the game's frame output to eliminate tearing.

The discounted price is currently listed at Best Buy. The offer provides a lower-cost entry into the QD-OLED market for players looking to upgrade their visual setup.
