If you are on a budget and mostly engage in productivity tasks and digital photo editing, the LG 34GP83A with its IPS panel offers good value and accurate color representation. However, if you're a serious gamer or a media enthusiast willing to invest in a premium experience, the LG 39GS95QE's OLED technology provides superior contrast and is better suited for HDR gaming and media consumption, with higher responsiveness and better overall visual quality. Keep in mind, though, that the OLED model may not be as bright in SDR content, and the longevity and risk of burn-in with OLEDs are considerations for those who plan to use their monitor extensively.
