If you prioritize a superior gaming experience, particularly in competitive settings, and can afford a premium price, the LG 27GR95QL (W-OLED) offers excellent contrast and very low response time, making it great for fast-paced games. However, it's not as well-suited for productivity due to lower text clarity. Conversely, the LG 34WQ73A (IPS) is more budget-friendly and has a larger screen with better text quality, making it a good option for productivity and general use. It doesn't match the gaming performance of the OLED model and is not ideal for HDR gaming or media consumption. Give Feedback
