If premium image quality, particularly for HDR gaming and media, is a priority and you're comfortable with a higher price, the Acer X34V with its wider color gamut and higher contrast would serve you well, especially with its ultrawide aspect, which is great for cinematic experiences and immersive gaming, despite not being the best for productivity tasks due to its curve and aspect ratio. Conversely, if you value a balance between price and performance for tasks like competitive gaming, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X offers a very good refresh rate and response time, albeit with less impressive color and contrast compared to the Acer, making it less ideal for HDR content but better for productivity due to its standard aspect ratio and higher pixels per inch.
