If you're a competitive gamer or a movie enthusiast willing to invest in top-tier visual performance, the AOC PD49 with its OLED technology offers exceptional contrast and color, wide viewing angles, and superior gaming features like a higher refresh rate. However, if you're focused mainly on productivity and cost efficiency, and you still want a good gaming and media experience, the LG 34GP83A with its IPS panel provides solid performance at a lower cost, though it lacks the peak brightness and contrast prowess of the AOC. The LG also features an adjustable stand, which might be more convenient for a multi-use setup. Give Feedback
