    Hard to choose really, my question is how bad is the blooming on the Acer? Like real usecase scenario, for example subtitles in a movie, those I can make grey so that really is no issue but in games like cutscenes you usually can’t do that. Also just bright scenes in a movie overall. How bad is it is there some kind of a video test? Ty

    You can read about the blooming in the Local Dimming section of the review. It doesn’t eliminate all blooming, but it isn’t the worst case of it either.

    The AOC seems to have better value for the refresh rate + lack of overshooting backlighting and decent color gamut but I wish it’s color accuracy and text clarity were better, because in comparison it seems a little warm, especially at the bad viewing angles. The Acer Nitro model # makes it hard to differ from another model named similar on ACER’s Site. Acer’s is a whole 300+ dollars more for minimal improvement in my opinion. I wish there was a monitor that was best of both worlds/monitors, and a decent price like the AOC. The Black uniformity I just can’t let go under a 7 rating because its so messy and hard to look at.

    I’ve read some reviews and the backlighting was absolutely atrocious. What was your experience like with the acer in that case? would you recommend the aoc over the acer for that reason?
