If you prioritize gaming, particularly in HDR, and photo editing, the Innocn 27M2V's higher brightness and color accuracy make it a superior choice despite its higher cost. The LG 34WQ73A, with its wider screen and 21:9 aspect ratio, could be more suitable for multitasking and productivity at a lower price point, but it falls short in gaming and media consumption due to its lower refresh rate and lack of HDR support. If your work involves print photo editing or color-critical tasks, the Innocn's wider color gamut and better overall image clarity could justify the higher expense. Give Feedback

Display Ninja

Rob Shafer | January 2024
"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."
