Given the information provided, if you are looking for a larger, ultrawide screen that offers an immersive experience for general and media use, the Acer X34V may be the more suitable choice, especially if you're interested in productivity tasks that benefit from extra horizontal space. It is also somewhat less expensive. However, if your priority is competitive gaming and you want the highest refresh rate possible, the MSI MPG 271QRX would be the better option as it is designed to deliver a smoother gaming experience. Both have OLED technology which means you'll have excellent contrast and colors for HDR gaming and media. Keep in mind that the Acer may not be as suitable for the most competitive gaming scenarios as the MSI, given its lower refresh rate and response time. Give Feedback
