If you prioritize a wider, more immersive display for competitive gaming or multitasking and are willing to invest in a premium product, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 is a solid choice with its larger screen and higher refresh rate. However, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option that still offers a sizable screen for casual gaming and general productivity, the LG 34WQ75C will serve you well. Keep in mind the Samsung's better contrast could offer a more vivid experience for media consumption, but the LG's IPS panel generally provides more accurate colors for tasks like photo editing.
