For casual gaming, the Innocn 27G1S with its very good refresh rate and response time provides a smooth experience at a more affordable price, though its VA panel may not offer the same color accuracy as an IPS display. If you work in fields needing precise color, the LG 34WQ73A with its IPS panel and wider color gamut, particularly AdobeRGB, could be worth the higher cost, along with its larger, ultra-wide screen that enhances multitasking for productivity. Neither are the best for HDR content, but if you prioritize gaming and want to save money, Innocn could be the better option. If productivity and color-critical tasks are more important, consider investing in the LG. Give Feedback
