If exceptional image quality and wide viewing angles for HDR gaming and media consumption are your priority, and you're open to a higher investment, the Acer X34V with its QD-OLED panel will deliver deep blacks and vibrant colors. For competitive gaming, its high refresh rate and low response time are excellent, but for casual gaming and productivity, it's not as well-suited due to a lower text clarity. Conversely, the LG 32GP850 is more wallet-friendly and offers very good gaming performance with a high refresh rate and quick response time, making it suitable for both casual and competitive gaming, but it falls short in HDR content and image clarity compared to the Acer. The choice largely depends on your willingness to spend more for better visual experience versus a balanced but less costly monitor that still performs well in gaming. Give Feedback
