If you're a competitive gamer looking for top-notch gaming performance and don't mind a lower screen resolution and size, the Acer X34V with its OLED panel and superior response time is a great choice and it also offers excellent color quality for HDR gaming and media. On the other hand, if you need a larger screen with a higher resolution for productivity tasks and casual gaming, and you're willing to invest more, the LG 38WN95C may suit you better. While its IPS panel doesn't match the contrast of the Acer's OLED, it provides wider screen real estate and is still sufficient for most gaming and media consumption. Give Feedback
