The AOC monitor's larger screen and ultrawide aspect ratio are better suited for an immersive experience in gaming and media consumption, with excellent contrast. Its extra width makes multitasking easier, hence it's good for productivity. However, it's less sharp due to its size and resolution, could be an issue for detailed work. The LG offers a more balanced experience with a higher pixel density for sharp images, making it suitable for gaming and general use, but it has a smaller screen which may be less immersive. If you prioritize a wide display and can afford it, go for the AOC, but for sharper images and a lower cost, the LG is a strong option. Give Feedback
