If you're looking for an immersive experience with deep blacks and vibrant colors, especially for HDR gaming and media, the LG 34GS95QE with its W-OLED panel will excel, but it comes at a premium price. For digital photo editing and productivity tasks that benefit from a unique screen layout, the LG DualUp 28MQ780's 16:18 aspect ratio offers more vertical space and is more budget-friendly. The 34GS95QE also offers a wider color gamut for print photo editing, but for casual gaming and general use, the DualUp's performance is sufficient and more cost-effective. If competitive gaming is important, the 34GS95QE's higher refresh rate and better response time might be worth the investment. Give Feedback
