If saving money is your priority and you prefer a smaller screen, the Acer X27U offers a balance of gaming and productivity with its good refresh rate and color accuracy, making it versatile but not ideal for the highest quality HDR gaming and media. Conversely, the Gigabyte FO32U2P, despite costing more, provides a larger, crisper display with a higher resolution and superior HDR capabilities, perfect for immersive HDR gaming and media consumption, but note, its peak brightness in HDR is unspecified which may affect HDR performance. For competitive gamers, both monitors provide low response times and support variable refresh rates to reduce screen tearing. Give Feedback
