If you prioritize deep blacks and high contrast for an immersive HDR gaming and media experience, despite the premium cost, the Innocn 32Q1U with its OLED panel would be an excellent choice. However, if you're looking for a larger, widescreen monitor that offers more screen real estate for productivity and is easier on the budget, the LG 34WQ73A with its IPS panel and 21:9 aspect ratio will serve you well, although it won't match the Innocn's performance in HDR content. For competitive gaming, both monitors offer less ideal refresh rates and response times, so serious gamers might look elsewhere. Give Feedback
