If you prioritize a larger screen and are involved in digital photo editing or print photo editing, the Acer XB323U-GX with its ample size and color accuracy might be the better choice for you, particularly if you also value an adjustable stand and a higher refresh rate range for fluid gaming. However, for an unparalleled contrast ratio and top-tier performance in competitive gaming, along with better color volume for HDR gaming and media, the Cooler Master GZ2711, being significantly less expensive, is an excellent option. The W-OLED technology of the Cooler Master offers deep blacks and vibrant colors, making it superior for media consumption, although its smaller screen size could be less ideal for productivity tasks compared to the larger Acer monitor.
