If you prioritize digital photo editing and print photo editing and don't mind spending extra, the Acer XB323U-GX with its wider color coverage could be a better choice. However, if you're looking to save money and still enjoy features suitable for competitive gaming with a similar resolution and size, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X could be more cost-effective. Both monitors offer high refresh rates and variable refresh rate support, but neither is optimal for HDR gaming or media consumption due to their limited brightness and color volume. If productivity and casual gaming are your main concerns, both would serve well, with the Acer having a slight edge in color accuracy. Give Feedback
