If you're looking for a wider screen for an immersive experience and want to save money, the LG 34GP83A with its ultrawide format is a solid option for both gaming and productivity, though it isn't ideal for HDR gaming or high-end photo editing. On the other hand, if high resolution and HDR content are important to you and you're willing to invest more, the ViewSonic XG321UG offers better image clarity, color accuracy for professional photo editing, and a stronger performance in HDR gaming and media, despite its smaller screen and higher price.
