If you prioritize affordability and solid image quality for everyday tasks such as web browsing, office work, and casual gaming, the LG 34WQ75C makes a compelling choice. However, for a premium, the ViewSonic XG341C-2K offers superior contrast, higher brightness levels, and better performance for high-dynamic-range (HDR) content, making it a better fit for immersive gaming and media consumption. Additionally, while the LG model may suffice for casual gaming, the ViewSonic's faster response times and higher refresh rates are more suitable for competitive gaming scenarios. Give Feedback
