If you're looking for a more immersive experience with a larger, ultrawide screen, the LG 34GS95QE might be the better choice, especially if you're into casual gaming, productivity, and media consumption. However, if competitive gaming is a priority and you want a monitor that's better at minimizing ghosting and has a slightly higher peak brightness for HDR content, the LG 27GR95QL would be the way to go. The tradeoff is that the 27GR95QL has a smaller screen and might not be as suitable for wide-format professional tasks or as enveloping for movie-watching. Keep in mind both monitors have excellent color depth and contrast due to their OLED technology, making them both good for digital photo editing. Give Feedback
