If you prioritize an immersive gaming and media experience with a wide, curved screen, the Acer X34V with its excellent contrast and brightness for HDR could be a great choice. However, for high-speed, competitive gaming where every millisecond counts, you might prefer the LG 27GR95QE due to its slightly better response times and higher refresh rate. Both are suitable for productivity and casual gaming, but the Acer's larger screen offers more real estate for multitasking. On the other hand, the LG's higher pixels per inch might provide crisper text. Neither is ideal for serious photo or video editing due to limited color accuracy in professional color spaces.

How the Acer X34V (QD-OLED) and the LG 27GR95QE (W-OLED) compare to other monitors
"The LG 27GR95QE-B is a stellar display that makes 1440p again the PC gaming sweet spot due to its high 240Hz refresh rate and fantastic latency. However, its low overall brightness and lack of onboard settings keep it from being great."
