If you're on a tighter budget and prioritize competitive gaming, the Innocn 27G1S is a solid option due to its high refresh rate and good overall gaming performance. However, it falls short in HDR gaming and media consumption due to its limited brightness and color volume. The LG 34GP83A offers a better image quality and wider color gamut, which is ideal for casual gaming, productivity, and media consumption, especially with its larger screen and ultra-wide aspect ratio. It's also better at color-critical tasks like digital photo editing. Just keep in mind that you'll pay more for these additional capabilities. Give Feedback
