If you prioritize a superior gaming experience with high contrast and refresh rates for smooth gameplay, the Acer X34V is a solid choice, but it may not be the best for regular productivity due to its ultrawide aspect ratio and curve, which could affect multitasking. The Dell U3223QE, being less expensive, offers excellent image clarity for productivity and digital photo editing with a higher resolution and more screen real estate, but falls short for gaming due to lower refresh rates and responsiveness. Neither is ideal for HDR video editing, but for HDR gaming and media, the Acer excels with better brightness and contrast. Give Feedback
