If you're a competitive gamer looking for an ultrawide screen with good refresh rates and strong gaming performance, the Acer X34V is an excellent, less costly option. On the other hand, if you're a professional in digital photo editing or print photo editing, where color accuracy is critical, the Asus PA32DC offers the superior color gamut at a higher price. The Asus is also better for media consumption with its 4K resolution, but it's not designed for gaming, lacking gaming-focused features like variable refresh rates and quick response times. The tradeoff is paying more for professional-grade color accuracy versus getting a more versatile, gaming-oriented monitor at a reduced cost. Give Feedback

From filmmakers to colorists and everyone in between, this OLED display comes with just about everything that’ll satisfy professionals and enthusiasts. The undisputed champion of content creation monitors might still be the Apple Pro Display XDR for some, but the Asus PA32DC OLED puts up a heck of a fight for several grand less."
