If you prioritize immersive gaming and can invest more, the Acer Predator X45 offers a larger curved screen and is equipped for HDR gaming, which can enhance your experience with vibrant colors and deep contrasts. It's great for competitive gaming with minimal motion blur, but the size and aspect ratio may not be ideal for productivity tasks. On the other hand, for a balance between gaming, media consumption, and productivity at a lower cost, the ViewSonic VX2776 2K OLED is a solid choice. It provides excellent color accuracy for tasks such as digital photo editing, although it's not the best for HDR video editing. Both monitors exhibit weak text clarity and are not ideally suited for tasks requiring sharp text rendering. Give Feedback
