Opting for the LG DualUp 28MQ780 will save you money and is suitable for productivity tasks due to its unique aspect ratio and screen size, however, it's not ideal for HDR gaming or competitive gaming due to lower refresh rates and response times. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest more, the ViewSonic VX2776 offers superior contrast and is excellent for competitive gaming and HDR content, thanks to its OLED panel and higher refresh rate. However, it may not be as good as the LG for productivity due to its more traditional aspect ratio and screen size. Give Feedback
