If you prioritize a larger screen and higher resolution for detailed productivity tasks and a richer gaming experience, the Acer XB323U-GX would be suitable despite its higher price. However, for budget-conscious buyers who mainly indulge in casual or even competitive gaming, the AOC 24G2SPU provides good performance at a much lower cost. Both have similar panel types, but the Acer offers a wider color gamut, making it better for digital photo editing, while the AOC still performs adequately in this regard. The AOC won't serve well for HDR gaming or media, which the Acer can handle to a degree, but if those aren't priorities, it could be a smart save. Give Feedback
