Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen)
Score: 76/100
Acer Nitro GA321QU
Score: 84/100Rankings
Acer's Nitro GA321QU P combines a fast 180 Hz IPS panel with 1 ms response time and integrated Google TV, offering both high-performance gaming and streaming in one unit. The monitor's modest 250 nits brightness and low-power speakers are trade-offs for its speed and smart features. Ideal for competitive gamers who also want built-in TV capabilities.
The Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen) is a compact 7-inch smart display that shines with enhanced audio, Soli radar gestures and built-in Thread/Matter hub. Its trade-offs include a low-resolution screen and the absence of a camera. Best suited for Google-centric households that value privacy and smart-home integration.

Professional reviewers commend the Nest Hub (2nd Gen) for its innovative Soli radar that enables touchless gestures and privacy-first sleep tracking, as well as its upgraded speaker delivering 50% more bass and a robust three-mic array for reliable voice capture. They also highlight its role as the central hub for the Google ecosystem with Thread and Matter support. However, they criticize the modest 1024 × 600 display resolution and note the absence of a camera as drawbacks compared to competing devices.
Everyday users appreciate the quick plug-and-play setup, especially seniors, and enjoy the improved sound and hands-free kitchen functionality. The privacy-focused sleep tracking and lack of a camera are praised, while common complaints focus on the low-resolution screen, occasional sleep-tracking errors, and the need to keep the device plugged in.
Professional reviewers position the GA321QU P as a high-performance gaming display that also serves as a smart TV hub. They commend its 180 Hz WQHD panel, low latency, HDR10 and FreeSync/G-SYNC support, while highlighting the convenience of Google TV integration for a cable-free entertainment experience.
Although direct user reviews are scarce due to the recent launch, feedback on comparable Nitro monitors points to appreciation for the sharp WQHD image, smooth FreeSync gameplay and the added value of built-in streaming apps, with no major complaints surfacing yet.
