Choosing between the LG 38WN95C and the ViewSonic VX2776 2K OLED depends on your priorities. If a larger, ultra-wide screen for multitasking and a high resolution for clear productivity tasks is important, the LG could be a good fit, yet it's less suitable for HDR gaming and media. However, if you prefer impeccable contrast and rich colors for HDR content, along with a superior performance for competitive gaming, the ViewSonic VX2776 2K OLED will excel at these, offering great value for its price, but its smaller screen might limit your workspace for productivity. Both are premium-priced, with the LG demanding a higher investment. Give Feedback
