If you're a competitive gamer or enjoy HDR gaming and media consumption, the Acer X34V with its superior contrast and refresh rate would enhance your experience, but it's more expensive and not as well-suited for productivity tasks due to a lower resolution and unconventional aspect ratio. On the other hand, if you prioritize digital photo editing and productivity, with a need for a higher resolution and more screen real estate, the Asus PA329CV offers good image clarity at a lower cost, but it falls short for competitive gaming and HDR content.
