If competitive gaming is a priority and you want smoother motion with less blur, the Acer X27U with its higher refresh rate and response time is ideal. On the other hand, if your focus is HDR video editing and print photo editing, the LG 32EP950's superior color gamut and larger screen size would be beneficial, despite its higher price. For general media consumption, the LG offers excellent image clarity but remember it's not suited for fast-paced gaming due to a lower refresh rate. Choose the Acer if you're looking to save money without compromising on a good gaming and productivity experience. Give Feedback

Simon Baker | May 2021
"This screen is aimed at professional users, content creation and HDR video production. The OLED panel offers really great picture quality with bright, vivid colours, true deep blacks and infinite contrast ratio for SDR and HDR. The semi-glossy screen coating does add to the picture quality and feel of the screen as well."
