If you're looking for a monitor that offers a better gaming experience with a higher refresh rate and responsiveness, the LG 34GP83A could be a better choice. However, it comes at a premium compared to the LG 34WQ73A. The 34WQ73A is less expensive and could be sufficient for everyday productivity, as well as casual media consumption, with good image clarity. If print photo editing is part of your workflow, the 34WQ73A is suitable for that purpose. Keep in mind, neither of these monitors is the best for HDR gaming or media consumption. Give Feedback
