The Acer Predator X45, with its OLED panel, offers exceptional contrast and is excellent for HDR gaming and digital photo editing. Its large screen and ultrawide aspect ratio also enhance productivity and media consumption. However, image retention or burn-in could be a concern with OLED if you display static content for long periods. The ViewSonic XG341C-2K has a VA Mini LED panel, which provides good contrast and is suitable for print photo editing, with less risk of image retention. If HDR video editing and color work are priorities, the Acer’s OLED might serve you better, while the ViewSonic is a solid all-rounder that excels in print photo editing. Give Feedback
