Our Verdict
Acer Nitro VG271 Pbmiipx
LG 32QN55T-B
The Acer Nitro VG271 Pbmiipx is better than the LG 32QN55T-B. The Acer has a much faster refresh rate, resulting in significantly better motion handling, with less blur behind fast-moving objects. The Acer also has lower input lag for a more responsive gaming and desktop experience. On the other hand, the LG has a larger screen, so it's easier to see more of your work at once, and it has better ergonomics.
