If you prioritize vivid colors and sharp details for digital photo editing or print photo editing, and a higher resolution is important to you, the Innocn 27M2V is a solid choice at a lower cost. However, if you prefer an ultrawide screen with higher contrast and better immersion for casual gaming and media consumption, but don't mind lower image clarity and a higher price, then the ViewSonic XG341C-2K may be worth the extra investment. Keep in mind that the Innocn 27M2V is better equipped for HDR gaming and media, while the ViewSonic falls short in that aspect. Give Feedback

How the Innocn 27M2V (IPS MiniLED) and the ViewSonic XG341C-2K (VA Mini LED) 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."
