If you're interested in a gaming experience with a wider field of view and a more immersive environment, consider the LG 34GP83A with its larger screen and higher refresh rate, which is better suited for casual and even some competitive gaming. However, it's not ideal for those seeking high-quality HDR gaming and media consumption. On the other hand, the LG DualUp 28MQ780's unique aspect ratio and higher pixels per inch offer a clearer image and are great for productivity and digital photo editing, but it falls short for gaming due to a lower refresh rate and is not designed for HDR content.
