If you prioritize a large, ultrawide screen for an immersive gaming and media experience, the LG with its bigger screen and wider aspect ratio might be well-suited for you, though at a higher cost. However, if you prefer a smaller but capable monitor that offers good image clarity and color accuracy at a lower price, the ViewSonic could be a better choice. Both are OLED and thus provide excellent contrast and color depth, but the LG's wider screen will require more space and may not be as effective for productivity tasks that favor a more traditional aspect ratio like the ViewSonic's.
