If you prioritize competitive gaming and have a higher budget, the Asus PG34WCDM with OLED technology will deliver exceptional response times and contrast for a great gaming experience. However, due to its poor productivity score, it's not the best for tasks that benefit from clearer text and image quality. On the other hand, the ViewSonic XG341C-2K is more well-rounded, suitable for a variety of uses including casual gaming, productivity, and media consumption, with better text clarity and USB connectivity, but it may not match the Asus in terms of gaming performance due to lower response times.
