If you're looking for a monitor that's easier on the wallet and offers a widescreen experience for multitasking and productivity with decent quality for casual gaming, the LG 34WQ75C with its large, ultrawide screen and good color depth would be suitable. However, if your focus is on superior image quality, especially for competitive gaming and media consumption with deeper blacks and higher contrast, and you're willing to invest more, the ViewSonic XG272 2K OLED with its excellent contrast and quicker response time will deliver a better performance, keeping in mind its smaller size and aspect ratio less optimized for multitasking.
