If you're focused on a high-quality gaming and media experience without spending as much, the Acer X34V (QD-OLED) provides excellent contrast and color depth, and its performance for HDR gaming is notable. However, it may not offer the best experience for productivity tasks due to its lower text quality. On the other hand, the LG 45GR95QE-B (W-OLED) comes at a premium price but offers a larger screen and higher refresh rate, which can be advantageous for competitive gaming with smoother motion. Yet, its brightness levels are lower, making it less optimal for HDR content. Both monitors have their strengths, so your choice should align with whether gaming performance or screen size and fluidity is your priority. Give Feedback
