If you prioritize a larger screen with an ultrawide aspect ratio for an immersive gaming or productivity experience, the Acer X34V could be the better choice, though its lower refresh rate and responsiveness may not suit the needs of competitive gamers as well as the Gigabyte FO27Q3, which offers a higher refresh rate. Both are similar in quality with excellent contrast and color for HDR gaming and media consumption. The Gigabyte caters more to competitive gaming due to its responsiveness, but its standard aspect ratio and smaller size may be less appealing for productivity tasks and immersive gaming compared to the Acer's ultrawide display.
