If you prioritize high contrast and color accuracy for tasks like digital photo editing, the LG 34GS95QE with its OLED panel is excellent. It's less expensive and has strong gaming performance, but may fall short in productivity due to screen brightness. For competitive gaming, the LG also offers superior performance with less ghosting. On the other hand, the ViewSonic XG341C-2K shines in very high brightness, which enhances media consumption and gaming in well-lit rooms, plus it has a better build for productivity with more USB ports. However, for gaming, it has more ghosting, making it less ideal than the LG for fast-paced action. Give Feedback
