If you prioritize sharp visuals and color accuracy for tasks like digital photo editing and appreciate high brightness, especially for HDR gaming and media consumption, the Innocn 27M2V with its MiniLED technology is a strong option. It also boasts better text clarity and image clarity. However, if you prefer a larger screen with an ultrawide aspect ratio for an immersive experience during multimedia activities and casual gaming, and are looking to save money, the LG 34GP83A may satisfy your needs, although it has weaker HDR performance and lower color accuracy. Keep in mind the LG also has inferior contrast and overall picture quality compared to the Innocn. Give Feedback

How the Innocn 27M2V (IPS MiniLED) and the LG 34GP83A (IPS) compare to other monitors
"Thanks to the wide color gamut, games and videos will look even more vibrant than the standard wide gamut displays (such as LG’s Nano IPS with 98% DCI-P3 and ~90% Adobe RGB, for instance), especially when it comes to blue, cyan and green shades. All in all, if you want a 27″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with a mini LED FALD backlight, the Innocn 27M2V is currently the best model available."
"The LG 34GP83A is an excellent monitor for the price! It offers flawless performance thanks to its rapid response time, low input lag, high refresh rate, and certified G-SYNC compatibility. Moreover, its Nano IPS panel ensures vibrant colors which along with the 3440×1440 ultrawide resolution makes for a stunning and immersive viewing experience."
