If you prioritize a sharper image and higher resolution for detailed work or high-definition media, the Asus VG28UQL1A with its 4K resolution will serve you well. However, if a more immersive experience with a wider screen is important, especially for multitasking or enjoying panoramic views in games and movies, then the LG 34GP83A's ultra-wide display might be the better option. Consider that while the LG has a slightly better contrast, it isn't as well-suited for tasks needing the most accurate color reproduction, such as professional photo editing, where the Asus would excel. For gaming, the Asus has a higher refresh rate, which offers smoother gameplay, although the LG's wide format can be more immersive for certain games. Both monitors will offer good performance, but the best choice depends on your primary use: detailed, color-critical work favors the Asus, while an expansive, immersive experience leans toward the LG.

"The Asus TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A is, in many ways, a great 4K gaming monitor. It has a sharp, accurate image with good contrast and excellent motion clarity. Luminance uniformity is its only weakness. The monitor’s $799 MSRP is relatively affordable for a 4K HDMI 2.1 monitor, as well."
