Acer has unveiled a trio of new Nitro-branded gaming monitors. Also referred to as 'UltraSpeed' on account of their exceedingly high refresh rates, the Nitro XV270 F5, Nitro XV270U F5 and Nitro XV240 F6 all exceed 500 Hz and range from $599.99 to $799.99 in North America.

Earlier today, we reported on Acer revealing the Nitro GS272U M, a 27-inch monitor that marries a 1440p resolution with a 180 Hz resolution. However, it has also introduced three other Nitro monitors and the CS322QK, the latter of which we have covered separately.

As for Acer's other new Nitro gaming monitors, all deliver much higher refresh rates than the Nitro GS272U M. Specifically, the company describes the Nitro XV270 F5, Nitro XV270U F5 and Nitro XV240 F6 featuring the following hardware:

Unsurprisingly, Acer is marketing the trio on their peak refresh rates. Specifically, the company claims describes them as being 'Nitro "UltraSpeed" Displays, adding:

The new Nitro gaming monitors target gamers seeking next-level gameplay, additional features, and immersive experiences. Models are available in two 27-inch and one 24-inch sizes, all with AMD FreeSync Premium compatibility, engineered to ensure smoother frames by minimizing screen stuttering and tearing. These "UltraSpeed" monitors bring their A-game by combining high-resolution panels, fast refresh rates, and blazing response times.

While Acer has not started selling any of these monitors just yet, it has confirmed release windows for all three, as well as launch pricing across North America, the Eurozone and China. According to the company's press release, only China will receive any of these monitors before the start of next year; please see the list below for further details. In the meantime, Acer still sells slightly slower options like Nitro XV272U F3 for $349.99, which combines a 1440p resolution with a 300 Hz refresh rate.
