Who each one is for

The Acer Nitro XV320QU is the one to take for Dual-PC users wanting a built-in KVM switch and casual to mid-level gamers upgrading from 1080p, though it is the wrong buy for pixel-density purists wanting maximum sharpness at 1440p and competitive players wanting sub-1ms OLED-class response. The same goes for buyers wanting a larger 1440p canvas without a 4K price tag. Buy the GeChic On-Lap 1503I for photographers and videographers needing a tripod-mounted field monitor and camera operators wanting touch-to-focus on supported rigs, though it is not the pick for laptop users wanting simple single-cable USB-C setup and buyers wanting the lightest possible portable monitor. Our rating of the Acer Nitro XV320QU (7.8/10): A practical, larger-format value gaming monitor whose built-in KVM switch adds real convenience for dual-PC users. Our rating of the GeChic On-Lap 1503I (7/10): A dated connectivity setup, but still a go-to field monitor for photographers and videographers who need tripod-mountable touch.
