If you prioritize a wider color gamut and faster response time for higher-end gaming experiences, the LG OLED monitor is a better choice, despite its higher price and poorer performance in productivity tasks due to weaker text clarity and image sharpness. Alternatively, the ViewSonic Mini LED monitor offers better brightness and contrast, making it suitable for print photo editing and productivity, with good gaming capabilities and a higher refresh rate range; however, its HDR gaming and media consumption are less impressive compared to the LG. Choose the LG for a focus on high-end gaming or the ViewSonic for a balance between productivity and gaming. Give Feedback
