They seem a bit different besides *sync technologies.
One has GPbmiipprzx in the end of it's name.

3) There are 3 models I see listed currently.
a) The XB273KP (XB273K Pbmiphzx), the original model as we’ve reviewed.
b) The XB273KS (XB273K Sbmiprzx) which seems to have a lower MSRP (although, because it’s ‘new’, higher retail price currently). I’m not exactly sure why. The MSRP reduction might be that they’ve used a simpler backlight without any local dimming (vs. basic local dimming on the XB273KP). Or Acer just being Acer and re-releasing a new model with no distinct changes to try to reinvigorate the series.
c) The XB273KGP (XB273K GPbmiipprzx). Cheaper still. Perhaps a simpler backlight once again, but I believe from my conversations with some knowledgable individuals that this lacks the G-SYNC board and is instead ‘G-SYNC Compatible’ via Adaptive-Sync. So goodbye tight pixel overdrive tuning and variable overdrive technology – not something I feel is worth giving up on a 3840 x 2160 model for the sake of a slight price reduction. This idea is strongly reinforced by the inclusion of VRB (Visual Response Boost) strobe backlight mode, which doesn’t get lumped with ‘proper’ G-SYNC models. You’re unlikely to use this – you’d need a solid 144fps and can’t use G-SYNC at the same time. Plus such technologies are generally poorly implemented.
4) I guess this is clear from the above, but if not – the XB273KP is recommended and waiting for the alternative models that seem cut down in various ways is not.
