If you prioritize a seamless gaming experience with superior contrast and responsiveness, the LG 34GS95QE with its OLED panel is a fine choice, especially if you're interested in a wider field of view for immersive gameplay due to its 21:9 aspect ratio. However, keep in mind its brightness and image clarity aren't top-of-the-line for general media consumption. On the other hand, the ViewSonic XG321UG offers excellent color accuracy and is better suited for digital photo editing and print photo editing, due to its wider color gamut and higher resolution, making it versatile for productivity tasks. It does come at a higher cost, so weigh this against your budget and whether these features align with your needs. Give Feedback
