If you prioritize top-notch contrast and deep blacks, the Acer Predator X45 with its OLED panel will provide a superior viewing experience, ideal for HDR gaming and media consumption. It offers excellent response times for competitive gaming too. However, if budget is a concern and you require a monitor that balances gaming, productivity, and media well, the LG 34GP83A delivers good performance at a lower price. Keep in mind the LG's IPS panel won't match the Acer's contrast or HDR capabilities, but it will still provide a solid all-around experience. Give Feedback
