If budget is a key concern and you're looking for an ultra-wide screen conducive to multitasking and an immersive field of view in games and movies, the LG 34GP83A is a solid choice. However, if you prioritize top-notch image quality, color depth and contrast for professional photo editing, HDR gaming, and media consumption, and you're willing to invest more, the MSI MPG 321URX with its QD-OLED technology will offer a significantly superior visual experience. Keep in mind, the MSI's higher resolution and aspect ratio may not be as expansive as the LG's ultra-wide format, but it compensates with better overall performance in color-critical applications and high-intensity gaming.
