Acer XB323U-GX (IPS)
The Acer XB323U-GX with an IPS panel is a premium-priced 32-inch monitor with a 2560 x 1440 resolution that's suited for both productivity and gaming. It excels in competitive gaming thanks to its high refresh rate and very good total response time, along with features like variable refresh rate (VRR) range and strobing to reduce motion blur. The adjustable stand and range of ports enhance user convenience and connectivity options. For digital photo editing, it offers excellent sRGB and AdobeRGB color coverage, which is also favorable for print photo editing. However, this monitor is not the optimal choice for HDR gaming or media consumption due to its fair performance in contrast and color volume, and its HDR peak brightness is lower than ideal for true HDR experiences. Its text quality and image clarity are reasonable, suitable for everyday use. If your priority is competitive gaming and photo editing, and you are okay with acceptable but not top-tier HDR performance, this monitor could be a good fit for you. Give Feedback
