If you prioritize a large, immersive display for gaming with deep blacks and vivid colors, and don't mind spending more, the LG monitor with OLED technology offers an excellent choice for HDR gaming and color-critical work such as photo editing. However, its lower peak brightness and potential for image retention might disappoint for general productivity and media consumption. In contrast, the Nubia RedMagic offers a sharper image due to its higher resolution and is better priced for mixed use including competitive gaming, productivity, and media consumption. Its MiniLED backlight provides great brightness and contrast, but can't match the infinite contrast of the OLED and might fall short for critical color work. Give Feedback
