If you're looking for top-tier gaming performance with a high refresh rate and exceptional contrast, consider the Corsair Xeneon 27QHD240 (W-OLED), especially if you are into competitive gaming where quick response times and minimal ghosting are crucial. However, remember that it commands a premium price, and its text clarity is only fair, which might not be ideal for productivity tasks. On the other hand, the LG 34GP83A (IPS) offers a wider screen with a 21:9 aspect ratio at an upper midrange price, which is better suited for multitasking and productivity due to its larger display area and fair productivity performance. Remember though, it's not particularly geared for HDR gaming, competitive gaming scenarios might see limited benefit, and it may have poorer contrast. If budget is a major concern and you're more into casual gaming and productivity, the LG might be the better financial choice. Give Feedback
