If you're a competitive gamer or want the best experience for HDR gaming and media consumption, the Asus PG34WCDM with its W-OLED panel and higher refresh rate is a superior choice, although it's significantly more expensive. However, if your focus is on productivity and digital photo editing, the LG DualUp's unique screen resolution and aspect ratio provide ample workspace and consistent color, making it a cost-effective option. The Asus offers the best contrast and is excellent for fast-paced gaming due to lower response times, but the LG provides better text clarity and is suitable for daily tasks and casual gaming at a lower cost.
