If you prioritize immersive gaming and media experiences and can afford a premium, the Acer Predator X45 with its larger screen and suitability for HDR gaming and editing may be the better fit. However, if you are concerned about price and still want quality gaming performance, the AOC AG276QZD offers good competitive gaming capabilities and high refresh rates for significantly less expense. Keep in mind, though, that the smaller screen and lower HDR peak brightness of the AOC may not be as satisfactory for media consumption and HDR content compared to the Acer. Give Feedback
