If you're looking for a larger screen and higher resolution for both work and play, and are willing to invest more, the LG 38WN95C offers a wider screen and slightly crisper visuals with better color accuracy which is good for tasks like photo editing. However, if you're budget-conscious and predominantly use your monitor for standard productivity tasks with occasional media consumption, the LG 34WQ75C will save you money while still offering a decent widescreen experience. Neither is optimal for competitive gaming due to their higher response times, but the 38WN95C has a variable refresh rate feature that can improve casual gaming experiences. If HDR content is important, the 38WN95C has better brightness for HDR media, though still not top-tier for HDR gaming. Give Feedback
