If you prioritize exceptional contrast and responsiveness for competitive gaming, the AOC AG456UCZD with its OLED panel is an excellent choice, though it demands a premium price and is less suited for productivity due to image retention risks and lower text clarity. Conversely, the LG 34GP83A offers a balance for casual gaming and productivity with good color accuracy and is substantially more affordable, but it falls short in peak brightness and contrast when compared to the AOC, which might affect the HDR gaming and media consumption experience. Choose the AOC for top-tier gaming performance or the LG for a well-rounded, cost-effective option. Give Feedback
