If you're on a tighter budget and value strong color accuracy for tasks like print photo editing, the LG 34WQ73A with its IPS panel may fit your needs. On the other hand, if you're willing to spend more for a monitor that excels in competitive gaming with its high refresh rate and better contrast, the Samsung S49AG95 Odyssey Neo G9 offers a wide and immersive screen that also provides an impressive HDR experience. The Samsung's larger size and superior performance in fast-paced games, however, come at a higher cost and may not offer the same level of color accuracy for photo editing as the LG. Give Feedback
