If you're a competitive gamer looking for fast response times and high refresh rates, the LG 27GR95QL would be a great choice, although it might not provide the best productivity experience due to lower text clarity and image clarity. On the other hand, the ViewSonic XG341C-2K offers a larger screen and higher resolution, which is beneficial for productivity and a more immersive media consumption experience; however, it's not as suitable for HDR gaming. If you prioritize print photo editing, the ViewSonic with its better color volume is superior, but it comes at a higher price. Give Feedback
