If competitive gaming is your top priority and you're willing to invest in a premium product, the Corsair Xeneon 27QHD240 with its high refresh rate and excellent response time will provide a smooth and immersive experience. However, for everyday productivity and digital photo editing, the LG 34WQ73A's larger screen and excellent color accuracy at a more affordable price could be more beneficial. The LG's aspect ratio is also wider, which can offer more screen real estate for multitasking. If you're interested in HDR gaming or media, the Corsair outshines the LG, but it sacrifices some productivity prowess due to its smaller size and poorer text clarity. Give Feedback
