If you're an avid gamer, especially with a focus on competitive gaming, the LG 27GS95QE with its superior response time and higher refresh rate will deliver a smoother and more responsive experience. This OLED model will also offer stunning visuals for HDR gaming and media consumption due to its high peak brightness and excellent color depth. However, the LG 34WQ73A with its larger screen and wider aspect ratio could be more suitable for multitasking and productivity, providing more screen real estate to work with. While its performance in casual gaming is adequate, the LG 34WQ73A may not meet the demands of competitive gaming or high-quality HDR content as well as the LG 27GS95QE. Consider what you'll use the monitor for the most and if the cost difference is justified for your needs. Give Feedback
