Walmart has the Acer Nitro VG277U Xbiip, a 27-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor, listed at $269.00, marked down from $349.99, according to a Slickdeals post that checked pricing on October 27. The listing is sold and shipped by Walmart.com and includes free shipping.
The VG277U Xbiip runs at 2560 x 1440 resolution, otherwise known as WQHD, with a 240Hz refresh rate and a claimed 0.03ms response time. It also supports AMD's FreeSync Premium, which syncs the monitor's refresh rate to a compatible graphics card's frame output to cut down on screen tearing and stutter.
The Walmart price beats what Acer charges for the same model through its own online store, where the VG277U Xbiip is listed at $299.99. That makes Walmart's price $30.99 cheaper than buying direct from Acer, and the Slickdeals check put it at roughly 10 percent under the lowest verified street price elsewhere. Newegg did not have an exact listing for this specific model at the time of the check.
For comparison, Best Buy sells the Acer Predator XB270U, a different 27-inch class QD-OLED monitor also running at 2560 x 1440 and 240Hz, for $329.99. That's a separate Predator-branded model rather than this Nitro, and it costs $60.99 more than Walmart's Nitro price. Shoppers weighing the two should note the spec overlap doesn't mean identical panels or feature sets, since Acer sells both lines with different firmware and extras depending on model.
QD-OLED panels combine quantum dot color filtering with an OLED backplane, which typically means deeper blacks and wider color coverage than standard LCD gaming monitors, though exact calibration and brightness figures vary by unit and aren't detailed in this listing.
The Walmart page showed strong recent interest, with more than 100 units reported bought since the prior day and a 4.4-star average across 49 ratings at the time it was checked. Shipping availability showed next-day arrival for at least one zip code tested, though delivery windows will vary by location.
This is a retailer price drop, not a manufacturer-wide sale, so the $269 figure reflects what Walmart was charging when the listing was checked on October 27. Prices on gaming monitors move often around shopping seasons, and Acer's own $299.99 listing remains the next cheapest verified option if the Walmart deal changes or stock runs out. Shoppers comparing QD-OLED monitors in this size and refresh class should also watch Best Buy and Newegg listings, since neither currently matches Walmart's price on this exact model.
