If you're looking for a monitor that excels in competitive gaming with a high refresh rate and is good for productivity, the Acer XB323U-GX offers great features at a lower price. However, if your priority is top-notch image quality for HDR gaming, media consumption, and photo editing with deep blacks and vibrant colors, the LG 32EP950 is superior, albeit at a higher cost. Keep in mind that the Acer has better gaming features like a wider variable refresh rate range and less ghosting, while the LG has unparalleled contrast and color performance but isn't designed for fast-paced gaming due to its lower refresh rate.

Simon Baker | May 2021
"This screen is aimed at professional users, content creation and HDR video production. The OLED panel offers really great picture quality with bright, vivid colours, true deep blacks and infinite contrast ratio for SDR and HDR. The semi-glossy screen coating does add to the picture quality and feel of the screen as well."
