If you prioritize a premium gaming experience with deep blacks and sharp contrast for HDR gaming, the Acer Predator X45 with its OLED panel is the superior choice for you, though it comes at a higher cost. However, if you're focused on competitive gaming with faster response times and a lower price point, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X would be more suitable, though it won't offer the same level of image quality for media consumption as the OLED. Neither is optimal for productivity tasks due to image clarity and text quality limitations. Give Feedback
