If you want a very wide screen for an immersive gaming and media experience and can afford a higher price, the Gigabyte CO49DQ's larger size could be ideal, although it may lack some clarity in text and image quality when compared to the LG. On the other hand, the LG 34GS95QE offers a better balance for productivity with good image clarity, and it's a bit less costly. Both monitors are excellent for color-critical work like photo editing, but if high refresh rate and low ghosting for competitive gaming are top priorities, the LG's superior performance in those areas may be more appealing.
