If you prioritize a traditional 16:9 aspect ratio with a higher resolution for detailed work and crisp image quality, the Innocn 32M2V with its miniLED backlight and 4K resolution is a strong choice, especially for tasks like digital photo editing where color accuracy matters. For an immersive gaming and media experience with deeper blacks and outstanding contrast, the Philips 34M2C8600 shines with its ultrawide screen and QD-OLED technology, making it exceptional for HDR gaming and video editing. Keep in mind, however, that the Philips has a lower pixel density and might not be as sharp for text-heavy tasks compared to the Innocn. Give Feedback
