The LG Ultra 16 has a better screen than the Acer Aspire Vero 15 for content creation, and software development.
For general use, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 and the LG Ultra 16 may not provide the clearest or most vibrant display, as they have moderate resolution and brightness, which are crucial for activities like web browsing, document editing, and video streaming. In engineering and design, precise color representation matters, and both laptops offer only average performance in color gamuts like DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB, so they might not produce the most accurate colors for professional photo editing or CAD work. Gamers and professionals working with 3D graphics may find the screens lacking due to their lower refresh rates, while adequate resolution and panel type provide an acceptable but not optimal visual experience.

"The Acer Aspire Vero is an eco-friendly Windows 11 laptop. Made with PCR plastic, the Acer Aspire Vero stands out from the midrange laptop pack with a funky, eco-friendly design. Powering Microsoft’s latest operating system is a Core i7 chip from Intel’s latest series, integrated Intel Xe graphics, and an ample 16GB of RAM. The laptop feels snappy, but its battery life disappoints. I also have a few quibbles with the display and keyboard, but they’re relatively minor. With a longer runtime, the Aspire Vero would earn a stronger recommendation for students or anyone looking for an eco-friendly, big-screen laptop."

"Unlike the gram, the Ultra PC isn't designed to be as lightweight as possible. The 16-inch laptop is a whole 400 g (0.88 lb) heavier than its 16-inch gram counterpart partly because its chassis is not made of magnesium. Other than that, the Ultra PC seems like a copy of the gram – but with longer battery life, lower noise levels, and a clean, delicate look."
