If you prioritize a larger screen and superior color accuracy for tasks like print photo editing, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 with its wider color gamut might be the better choice. However, if HDR video editing is not a concern and you prefer a matte screen coating which reduces glare, the Asus PG34WCDM could suit you well, as it offers a high peak brightness that enhances the HDR gaming and media consumption experience. Both monitors are excellent for competitive gaming due to high refresh rates and very good response times, but the Asus has a slight edge in minimizing ghosting. For productivity, the ultra-wide aspect ratio of the Samsung might provide more screen real estate, which can be useful for multitasking. Keep in mind that the Samsung's glossy finish might reflect more light, which could be distracting in brightly lit environments. Give Feedback
