Who each one is for

it is the wrong buy for anyone wanting 4K resolution rather than QHD. It also earns its place with gamers comparing the crowded 27-inch QHD/240 QD-OLED segment wanting Acer's ecosystem. It is the wrong buy for buyers already settled on a specific competing brand's ecosystem or software. Buy the LG 34GP63A-B for gamers wanting immersive ultrawide at a mid-range price and multitaskers who want extra horizontal desktop space, though it is not built for color-critical creative work and HDR content viewers seeking real contrast. Our rating of the LG 34GP63A-B (7.9/10): A budget-friendly gateway into curved ultrawide gaming with strong day-to-day usability, if not class-leading contrast.
