If you prioritize an immersive gaming and media consumption experience, the Acer X34V with its curved, ultrawide screen and OLED technology would be a great fit, but its larger size and lower resolution may not be as conducive for sharp text and precise productivity tasks. On the other hand, the KTC M27P20 Pro offers a higher resolution and smaller screen, which is excellent for detailed photo editing, crisp text for productivity, and supports a wide color gamut, but it doesn't offer the same gaming immersion as the curved Acer. Both are strong contenders for HDR gaming and offer robust color performance, so your choice should align with whether your focus is on gaming immersion and media or detailed work and productivity.

TFT Central
Simon Baker | January 2023
"Gaming and HDR are the two target uses for this screen, and it does generally very well in both. For gaming there are good response times, a single overdrive mode experience for VRR, super low input lag and solid support for latest gen consoles too. The moderately high 160Hz refresh rate provides good motion clarity, and is a nice combination with the high 4K resolution that provides a sharp and crisp image."
