If competitive gaming is a high priority, the Acer XB323U-GX with its higher refresh rate will offer a smoother experience, making it suitable for fast-paced games. However, if you're focused on professional photo editing, print photo editing tasks, and a stunning HDR media consumption experience, the Innocn 27M2U with better image clarity, higher resolution, and HDR capability is a more cost-effective choice. The Acer provides a larger screen but at a lower resolution, which may not be as sharp as the Innocn. On the other hand, if screen size and gaming performance are more critical for you, and the higher price is within your budget, then the Acer would be the better option. Give Feedback

Forbes
Mark Sparrow | November 2022
"The Innocn 27MU2 screen isn’t built to Apple standards, but it’s robust enough for desktop use and surprisingly lightweight, considering its image quality. The stand is rock steady and adjustable, plus the screen can be wall mounted. There are plenty of input options plus the ability to display two sources on screen at the same time."
