If your priority is sharp, high-resolution images for productivity and HDR video editing, the Innocn 27M2U provides great image clarity at a better price, but with limited gaming performance. If you want a wider, more immersive display for media consumption and casual gaming without concern for higher costs, consider the ViewSonic XG341C-2K, which offers a larger screen and better contrast but at a lower resolution and with less color accuracy for professional photo editing. The ViewSonic also provides a smoother gaming experience with a higher refresh rate, albeit at a premium price. Give Feedback

Forbes
Mark Sparrow | November 2022
"The Innocn 27MU2 screen isn’t built to Apple standards, but it’s robust enough for desktop use and surprisingly lightweight, considering its image quality. The stand is rock steady and adjustable, plus the screen can be wall mounted. There are plenty of input options plus the ability to display two sources on screen at the same time."
