If you prioritize color accuracy for tasks like photo editing, the Acer XB323U-GX with its high sRGB and AdobeRGB coverage is a strong choice. However, if you value the highest possible contrast for an immersive gaming and media experience, the Gigabyte FO32U2 featuring QD-OLED technology with its infinite contrast ratio and superior HDR capability would be preferable. For competitive gamers, both offer very good refresh rates, but the near-zero response time of the Gigabyte could give you an edge. On the other hand, the Acer has a higher resolution for sharper text and imagery, beneficial for productivity. Choose the Gigabyte for superior color volume and HDR performance or the Acer for tasks requiring accurate colors and detailed resolution. Give Feedback
