If you prioritize an immersive experience with a wide, curved screen for gaming or productivity, and you're willing to invest more, the Acer Predator X45 could be appealing to you, especially with its stronger gaming features. However, if sharpness, better image clarity for detailed work, and a higher resolution for media consumption are more important, and you'd like to save a bit on the price, the Gigabyte FO32U2 offers a 4K display which may better suit your needs for both productivity and high-quality media enjoyment. Both monitors have excellent color performance, but the Gigabyte's higher pixels per inch will make for crisper text and images. Give Feedback
