If you prioritize immersive gaming and media with deep blacks and vibrant colors, the Acer X34V with its OLED panel could be worth the extra cost. This monitor shines for casual gaming due to its wide aspect ratio and high contrast. However, for competitive gaming where fast response is crucial, it's only good, not the best. For productivity, the curved screen may be less ideal when working with straight lines as it may distort them, and the image clarity is fair. In contrast, the Innocn 27M2U is less expensive and offers better text clarity and image quality for productivity and digital photo editing, with a high-resolution 4K screen that's suitable for HDR video editing. Its color accuracy is also suitable for print photo editing. However, it's not the best option for gaming, with poor refresh rates and no variable refresh rate support. Choose the Innocn if you're focused on work and content creation, with some casual gaming and media consumption. Select the Acer if gaming and watching videos are your main activities and you can invest more for an ultra-wide, immersive experience. Give Feedback

Forbes
Mark Sparrow | November 2022
"The Innocn 27MU2 screen isn’t built to Apple standards, but it’s robust enough for desktop use and surprisingly lightweight, considering its image quality. The stand is rock steady and adjustable, plus the screen can be wall mounted. There are plenty of input options plus the ability to display two sources on screen at the same time."
