If you're seeking top-notch visual quality, especially for HDR gaming and media with deep blacks and high contrast, the KTC G27P6 with its OLED panel excels, making it suitable for digital photo editing as well. However, be aware that it has a smaller screen size and may not be as good for productivity or casual gaming due to lower brightness. On the other hand, the LG 34GP83A provides a larger screen and a wider aspect ratio that's better for multitasking and immersive casual gaming. While its IPS panel can't match the contrast of OLED, it's more affordable and still suitable for photo editing. Its performance in competitive gaming and productivity is satisfactory, but for HDR content its capabilities are limited compared to the KTC model. Give Feedback
