If you prioritize a large screen and an ultrawide aspect for immersive gaming and multitasking, the AOC with its wider screen would be appealing, but keep in mind that it's not as sharp for text clarity and image clarity, and not as suitable for HDR video editing. On the other hand, the LG, while smaller and more affordable, offers good image clarity and is more suitable for a mixture of tasks including gaming, media consumption, and productivity. It also has a sharper image due to its higher pixels per inch. However, it is not ideal for print photo editing, and its HDR peak brightness is lower, which could affect HDR media viewing quality.
