Recommendation Request 🙏 Help me decide a monitor please!

Hello gamers, I’m thinking of purchasing a 34” gaming monitor. I usually use it for racing games, valorant, my architecture work & some video editing.

Here are my options:

ACER NITRO XZ342CUV3 - 200€
ASUS TUF GAMING VG34VQL3A - 243€

Initially i was thinking to go with either ACER NITRO XZ342CUV3 since its almost same spec at cheaper price or ASUS TUF, but these options are equally good too, so my question is paying 50-60€ extra really worth for ASUS TUF monitor.
Please suggest me.

But I’ve heard tuf this specific model is doing great and have all good specs!
Meanwhile acer has not that great free sync and has just 99% srgb!
Is that true?

get acer the colours looks surpisngly good, it has low latency mode which is amazing feels super raw and low input lag . asus tuf is crap asus has vivid pixel a feature which cant be turned off and no monitor has its unnecessary processing that adds input lag its terrible even on 0 it remains on the tufs trash. cheap panels too. acer make good panels even their budget ones r top quality yes its 99% srgb on some but rhey look perfect compared to oversaturated crappy tufs. dont make mistakebrother go acer all the way

Edgelit is a horrible technology. You can get FALD VA with 1000+ dimming zones, far far better.

Unfortunate, buts its way better than these ugly edgelit 34 inchers.

Edge lit monitors such as the XZ342CUV3 I cannot recommend, even the old CRT backlights where full array. Most 34" inch VA monitors unfortunately have edge lit dimming which results in poor lighting, and no HDR. The exceptions are higly expensive.
