If you prioritize high-contrast visuals for HDR gaming, the LG 27GR95QE with its OLED panel offers excellent color depth and response times, making it suitable for both competitive gaming and immersive media experiences. It's also better for digital photo editing due to its wide color gamut coverage. However, if you're looking for a larger screen with a wider aspect ratio for enhanced productivity and an ample field of view in games, while saving money, the LG 34GP83A with its IPS panel could be the better option, although it won't match the OLED's performance in contrast and color saturation for HDR content.

How the LG 27GR95QE (W-OLED) and the LG 34GP83A (IPS) compare to other monitors
"The LG 27GR95QE-B is a stellar display that makes 1440p again the PC gaming sweet spot due to its high 240Hz refresh rate and fantastic latency. However, its low overall brightness and lack of onboard settings keep it from being great."
"The LG 34GP83A is an excellent monitor for the price! It offers flawless performance thanks to its rapid response time, low input lag, high refresh rate, and certified G-SYNC compatibility. Moreover, its Nano IPS panel ensures vibrant colors which along with the 3440×1440 ultrawide resolution makes for a stunning and immersive viewing experience."
