The Acer X27U excels in competitive gaming with its extremely fast response time, reducing ghosting which is crucial for fast-paced games. However, it's less suitable for HDR gaming and media consumption due to its lower peak brightness. Conversely, the LG 27GR95QL shines in HDR content with higher peak brightness, making it more immersive for movies and games that support HDR. The LG has a slightly lesser response time, which might not be as ideal for competitive gaming. If your focus is on competitive gaming, go for the Acer; if you're looking for better HDR experiences, the LG is the better option. Both monitors offer excellent color depth and are good for casual gaming and productivity, but if HDR content and media consumption are priorities, the LG might be more satisfying. Give Feedback
