If you prioritize a wide, immersive display and good performance in both gaming and media consumption without spending a premium, the Acer X34V with its ultra-wide aspect ratio excels, especially for games and movies that benefit from the wider field of view. However, if your focus is high-resolution content creation like photo editing, especially for print, and willing to invest more, the LG 32EP950 with its higher pixels per inch and wider range of colors may better suit your professional needs despite not being ideal for gaming. Both monitors offer excellent contrast and color depth due to their OLED technology. Give Feedback
