If you are looking for an immersive gaming and media consumption experience, the Acer X34V with its wider screen and high contrast could be a great choice, especially since it offers better value for money. However, the LG 27EQ850 offers higher resolution and a larger color gamut which may be preferable for tasks that require color accuracy, such as photo editing for print. Keep in mind, despite its higher price, the LG's smaller size and lower refresh rate might not be as optimal for gaming compared to the Acer. Choose the Acer if gaming and value are your priorities, or the LG for color-critical work and sharper text clarity. Give Feedback
