If you're on a tighter budget but still want a solid overall monitor, the LG 34GP83A with its IPS panel may be a good fit, offering decent performance across various tasks, though it falls short for HDR gaming and media. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest in higher contrast and vibrant colors for a more immersive experience in both gaming and media, and if you need a monitor suitable for print photo editing, the ViewSonic XG341C-2K with its VA Mini LED panel is a strong option, despite its higher cost. Its superior contrast and color depth make it better for viewing darker scenes and editing tasks that require color accuracy. However, keep in mind that for fast-paced gaming, the response time on the LG might be more appealing, while the ViewSonic excels more in image quality and stationary content viewing. Give Feedback
