For casual gaming and productivity, the LG 34WQ73A with its lower price and good image clarity would be a practical choice, but it won't excel in competitive gaming due to its poor refresh rate and total response time. On the other hand, the LG 39GS95QE, despite its premium price, offers a superior competitive gaming experience with its very good refresh rate and exceptional contrast, and it's also suitable for HDR gaming and media consumption. If you prioritize gaming performance, especially in fast-paced games, and can invest more, the LG 39GS95QE is the better option. However, if budget is a concern and you mostly engage in casual gaming and general use, the LG 34WQ73A is a sensible and more affordable choice. Give Feedback
