If you're prioritizing a superior gaming experience with deeper blacks and more vibrant colors, the Acer X34V with its QD-OLED panel is the superior choice, especially for HDR gaming and media consumption. However, its productivity performance is not as strong. The LG 34GP83A, despite being less expensive, has an IPS panel that generally provides good color accuracy and consistency, making it more suitable for productivity tasks and digital photo editing. It lacks the advanced HDR capabilities of the Acer and won't be as immersive for media consumption. Decide based on what's more important for your use case: peak gaming and media performance or a balance of productivity and decent gaming capabilities at a lower cost. Give Feedback
