If you prioritize a unique aspect ratio for multitasking and productivity with a taller screen for better document viewing, the LG DualUp might be the preferred option. However, if you're looking for exceptional contrast and color depth for HDR gaming, media consumption, and editing photos and videos, the Pixio PX277 OLED Max would be a better choice despite being a bit pricier. Gamers would appreciate the high refresh rate and low response time of the Pixio, but for those focusing on text clarity and office-related work, the LG with its unusual resolution and screen format may offer a better experience. Keep in mind that the Pixio is better suited for dark room viewing due to its OLED panel and might not be as bright as other types of displays in well-lit environments. Give Feedback
