If budget is a concern and you're focused on general productivity with good image clarity and color accuracy for photo editing, the LG 34WQ75C is a solid choice. However, if you're willing to invest more for a larger screen, exceptional contrast, color quality, and a more immersive gaming experience with high responsiveness suitable for competitive gaming and HDR content, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 is a standout option. Keep in mind, the glossy screen on the Samsung can produce reflections, while the LG's matte finish reduces glare. The LG's lower refresh rate and response time may affect fast-paced gaming compared to Samsung's superior performance in these areas. Give Feedback
