The Acer X27U offers a very good refresh rate making it best in class for competitive gaming, although its lower screen resolution might limit productivity and media consumption clarity when compared to the Innocn 32Q1U, which boasts a higher resolution suitable for detailed work and watching high-quality videos. The Innocn has a larger screen but isn't designed for high refresh rates, meaning it's not ideal for competitive gaming and may suffer from ghosting. For HDR gaming and media, both perform well, but if color accuracy in digital photo editing is important, the Acer might be preferable. Choose the Acer for gaming, especially competitive scenarios, and the Innocn for productivity and media consumption where image detail is key. Give Feedback
