We went out looking for Amazon's most popular monitor and what we discovered was Acer's SB220Q 1080p 75Hz IPS display.

The Acer Predator X35 packs the same specs as Asus' ROG PG35VQ which we recently called the best monitor we'd ever tested, because it uses the same panel. It's a 35-inch ultrawide 3440 x 1440 VA panel with up to a 200 Hz refresh rate, 1800R curvature, proper HDR and G-Sync Ultimate support.

The Acer Predator X27 is an impressive 4K 144 Hz gaming monitor with DisplayHDR 1000 and, of course, G-Sync HDR. It's a direct competitor to Asus top-of-the-line ROG monitor, but Acer's is better looking and better built for the same monstrous price tag.
