If you're focused on a wider, more immersive experience for casual gaming or productivity tasks at a more affordable price, the LG 34WQ75C with its ultra-wide screen and solid image clarity could be for you. However, if you're ready to invest more for vibrant colors in digital photo editing, or a larger screen that also offers a decent gaming experience, the Samsung S43CG70 with its better contrast and color depth might suit your needs better. Keep in mind, neither is best for competitive gaming or high-end HDR video editing. Give Feedback
