If saving money is a priority and you enjoy immersive gaming and media with a wide, curved screen, the Acer X34V is an excellent choice with its strong performance in color and contrast at a lower price point. However, if you're a competitive gamer who values higher refresh rates and a more standard screen aspect ratio for gaming and productivity, and you're willing to invest more, the Cooler Master GZ2711 might be more to your liking despite its narrower screen and less competitive media consumption experience. Both monitors provide outstanding color depth and are suitable for HDR content, but their differences in price and features like screen size and refresh rate should be carefully considered based on your specific needs and budget.
