If you prioritize a wide, curved screen and superior contrast for immersive gaming and media consumption, the Acer X34V with its OLED technology will deliver stunning visuals and deep blacks. This makes it an excellent choice for HDR gaming and watching movies. However, the LG 27GP83B, while less expensive, offers a more traditional aspect ratio suitable for productivity and decent gaming performance with its high refresh rate and response time. But it falls short in contrast and HDR capability compared to the Acer. If budget is a concern and your focus is on productivity and casual to competitive gaming, the LG could serve you well. If you're willing to invest more for an enhanced visual experience and mainly engage in gaming and media viewing, the Acer would be a compelling choice. Give Feedback
