I need to choose between two monitors... specifically:

2x Acer ED320QRP 32" 165Hz Gaming Monitors

https://www.evetech.co.za/acer-ed320qrp-165hz-gaming-monitor/best-deal/8377.aspx

 

2x LG 27GL650F-B 27" FHD Gaming Monitohs

https://www.evetech.co.za/lg-27gl650f-b-144hz-gaming-monitor/best-deal/7615.aspx

 

Both cost exactly the same amount. The differences that I am worried about are as follows:

The acer is 32" whereas the LG is 27"

The acer is curved whereas the LG is flat

The Acer does not support HDR whereas the LG does

The Acer does not have an IPS panel whereas the LG does

The Acer is 166Hz whereas the LG is 144Hz

The Acer supports Freesync whereas LG supports G-sync (I have an Nvidia GPU)

The Acer has 5ms response time whereas LG has 1ms

 

I am very much conflicted over which to buy, and I need to make a choice between these two. Any and all help is very much aplreciated :)

Looks to me LG checked most of the stats.

Not a fan of curved monitors, they takes so much space, plus if panel break, will be hard to find replacement.

 

Ryzen 5700g @ 4.4ghz all cores | Asrock B550M Steel Legend | 3060 | 2x 16gb Micron E 2666 @ 4200mhz cl16 | 500gb WD SN750 | 12 TB HDD | Deepcool Gammax 400 w/ 2 delta 4000rpm push pull | Antec Neo Eco Zen 500w

I'd go with the LG. IPS beats VA's colors and viewing angles, and I don't think the difference between 27 and 32 inch is going to be super important, especially when you're getting two of them. G-sync is also a nice bonus. 

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents. 

 

PSA: Posting a PCPartPicker list with no explanation isn't helpful for first-time builders :)
