If you're looking for a larger screen with a wider aspect ratio, the LG 38WN95C would suit productivity tasks and immersive media consumption due to its expansive display, but it's not the best for HDR gaming. On the other hand, the Nubia RedMagic, with its superior contrast and color performance, notably excels in HDR gaming and video editing, offering high brightness and more vivid colors for any visual content. If budget is a concern and you prioritize a high-quality gaming or video editing experience, the Nubia RedMagic might be the better value. If the extra screen real estate and ultrawide format enhance your productivity and entertainment experience, the LG might justify its premium price. Give Feedback
