If you prioritize a smooth gaming experience with intense colors and deep blacks, the LG 39GS95QE with its W-OLED panel is a solid choice, especially for its wider aspect ratio which suits immersive gaming and multitasking. However, the ViewSonic XG321UG's IPS Mini LED panel has better overall brightness and higher resolution, which is better for productivity and sharp image quality. The ViewSonic also offers improved digital and print photo editing capabilities. Bear in mind, the LG provides a higher refresh rate beneficial for competitive gaming, but you'll find the ViewSonic's higher resolution advantageous for detailed tasks like video editing.
