If you prioritize high-quality gaming with vibrant colors, deep blacks, and fast response times, investing in the Acer X34V (QD-OLED) would be beneficial, making it ideal for both casual and competitive gaming, as well as excellent media consumption. However, if you're looking for an affordable, large screen mainly for productivity or digital photo editing and you don't need top-tier gaming performance or the best HDR experience, the LG 32UN650 (IPS) will serve you well while saving you money. The LG model won't match the Acer's gaming or media performance due to its lower contrast and brightness, and less vivid colors. Give Feedback
