If you prioritize top-notch gaming experience and vibrant colors for tasks like photo editing, and are willing to pay a premium, the Cooler Master GZ2711 with its OLED display might be the better option as it excels in contrast and color depth. However, be aware its brightness isn't the best and may not suit well-lit rooms. On the other hand, the LG DualUp is more budget-friendly and has a unique screen layout that could boost productivity, especially with tasks that benefit from more vertical screen space. It doesn't shine for gaming or HDR content, though, due to its lower refresh rate and contrast. Give Feedback
