If you're focused on competitive gaming, the Acer Predator X45 offers a very good refresh rate and is suitable for fast-paced gaming, but its image clarity and text quality are poorer compared to other options. For those who prioritize digital photo editing, HDR video editing, or print photo editing with accurate colors, the LG 32EP950 might be preferable because of its superior color gamut coverage and image clarity, despite a lower refresh rate which is less ideal for gaming. The Acer is less pricey, while the LG is better for high-resolution creative work but costs more. Give Feedback
