If you're looking for a larger, ultra-wide display that's great for immersive gaming and media consumption, the Acer X34V with its wider screen and good color coverage might be appealing, especially if you're on a tighter budget. However, it may not be the best choice for productivity tasks due to a lower text clarity. Conversely, the Asus PG27AQDM, while more expensive, offers a smaller screen with better clarity, making it suitable for competitive gaming and productivity, as well as providing superior performance with its higher refresh rate, but its overall media experience might not be as immersive as the Acer's due to its standard aspect ratio and smaller size.
