If you are a competitive gamer looking for a monitor that provides a fast response time, and you prefer a traditional 16:9 aspect ratio, the LG 27GS95QE would be a cost-effective choice. However, if you want a larger, more immersive experience with a wider 21:9 aspect ratio that's better for productivity and media consumption, and you're willing to invest in a premium-priced monitor, then the LG 34GS95QE could be the better option. Keep in mind, the 34-inch model's larger screen will offer more screen real estate, which can be especially beneficial for multitasking and enjoying cinematic content. Both monitors have very good picture quality due to their OLED technology and are suitable for HDR gaming. Give Feedback
