If you prioritize excellent image clarity, contrast, and color performance for immersive gaming and watching HDR content, the Acer X34V would be a superior choice, especially with its larger, ultrawide screen that's great for productivity. However, if budget is a concern and you mainly engage in casual gaming or need a monitor for general use, the Gigabyte G24F-2 offers good performance at a much lower price, though with less impressive visual qualities and a smaller, standard aspect ratio screen, which might not be as suitable for multitasking or immersive media experiences.
