Budget Monitor for Non-Competitive Gaming (Series X)

My daughter insists that she wants a desktop set up with a gaming monitor for Xbox X.

Currently playing on TCL 50S451 at a distance.

Most of the recommendations that I have seen are for “top tier” go big or go home monitors in the 300-700$ range.

Since she is paying, I’m trying to find a monitor that will get the job done in the 150 ish range, at the top end of her budget.

While I know that I can’t meet all of the recommended requirements, I think that I have found one that is compatible with the X.

I have never been a gamer so I know nothing about the numbers other than what I have researched.

Is this monitor for $159 \[Acer Nitro 27” QHD 1440 IPS\](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D8LH2VSP?ref=cm\_sw\_r\_cso\_cp\_apin\_dp\_NXRP782JYAC9H0FSTMXR\_1&ref\_=cm\_sw\_r\_cso\_cp\_apin\_dp\_NXRP782JYAC9H0FSTMXR\_1&social\_share=cm\_sw\_r\_cso\_cp\_apin\_dp\_NXRP782JYAC9H0FSTMXR\_1) something that you would select if in the same situation or is there another comparably priced (lower preferably) that you would choose?

Please don’t just suggest rtings.com as I have yet to find a review or suggestion for a “budget” monitor selection for less than $299
