If you're heavily into competitive gaming and are looking for a monitor with a high refresh rate for smoother gameplay, the Acer XB323U-GX would be the better choice. However, it's more expensive and might not be as good for tasks that require accurate color reproduction, like photo editing. On the other hand, the LG 34WQ75C offers a wider screen with a 21:9 aspect ratio which can enhance productivity and immersive media consumption, but it's not designed for competitive gaming due to its lower refresh rate. If you're on a tighter budget and your focus is on work and casual gaming, the LG could be more appealing. Give Feedback
