If you prioritize a high-quality gaming and media experience while keeping costs reasonable, the Acer X34V is a solid choice with great image clarity and color depth, suitable for HDR games. It also supports a wide variable refresh rate for smooth gameplay. However, if you're a competitive gamer seeking the highest refresh rate and can afford a premium, the LG 45GS95QE offers a very high refresh rate but doesn't excel in overall image quality or media consumption compared to the Acer. For productivity and digital photo editing, both have good color coverage, but the higher price of the LG might not justify the gains in competitive gaming over the Acer's satisfactory performance in various tasks.
