If you prioritize top-notch contrast and color depth for an immersive HDR gaming and media experience and you are willing to invest in a pricier monitor, the Corsair 45WQHD240 with its OLED panel could be your choice. However, it's not the best option for productivity due to its coating and text quality. On the other hand, the LG 34GP83A offers good color accuracy for tasks like digital photo editing and is less expensive, but it falls short for HDR content and isn't as suitable for competitive gaming due to its longer response time and lower refresh rate.
