If you value a larger, ultrawide monitor for immersive gaming and productivity with a higher refresh rate for smoother visuals, the LG 34GS95QE might be a good fit, but keep in mind it has a lower resolution and image clarity compared to typical 27-inch models. On the other hand, if you prioritize higher resolution for sharper images and are interested in top-tier color accuracy for tasks like print photo editing, you might prefer the LG 27EQ850, despite it having a lower refresh rate which is not ideal for competitive gaming. Both models offer excellent contrast and HDR performance due to their OLED technology. Give Feedback
