If your priority is a larger, ultrawide screen for an immersive gaming experience and you require top-notch color accuracy for professional photo editing, the Acer Predator X45 might be preferable, despite its higher cost. However, if you're looking for a more affordable option that still offers excellent gaming performance, color accuracy for photo editing, and a higher pixels per inch for sharper images in a standard widescreen format, the Cooler Master GZ2711 could be a better choice. Keep in mind that while both provide great color volume and contrast, the Acer's HDR capabilities and brightness are superior, enhancing HDR gaming and media consumption. Give Feedback
