If exceptional contrast and low ghosting are vital for your gaming experience, the Acer X27U (W-OLED) is an excellent choice, although it might not be the best for productivity due to its lower resolution. On the other hand, the Innocn 32M2V (IPS MiniLED) offers a larger screen with higher resolution, which is better for productivity and detailed photo editing, at a lower cost. However, for very competitive gaming, the Acer's superior response time and refresh rate could be more important. Both monitors support HDR gaming and media, but the Acer's higher peak brightness may enhance that experience. Give Feedback
