If you prioritize high-end gaming and are okay with investing more, the Asus PG32UCDM with its OLED technology offers superior contrast and response times that will enhance your gaming experience, especially in HDR titles. Conversely, the LG 34GP83A, while less pricey, provides a wider screen and a decent gaming experience but lags behind in contrast and is not as well-suited for HDR content. For everyday productivity and casual gaming, the LG might suffice, but if you're a serious gamer or heavily into media consumption, the Asus is the better choice, albeit at a higher cost.
