If your focus is on premium image quality and HDR performance for gaming and media consumption, the Nubia RedMagic GM001J is an excellent choice with its higher brightness and color gamut coverage, making it well-suited for HDR video editing and print photo editing. For competitive gaming, the faster response time will help reduce ghosting, and a high refresh rate improves gameplay smoothness. However, the ViewSonic XG341C-2K offers a broader screen and a more immersive ultra-wide aspect ratio that is beneficial for productivity and gaming but has lower HDR peak brightness and might not be as vivid for media consumption. Additionally, the VA panel of the ViewSonic has a higher native contrast ratio, which can enhance visual depth, but it suffers from slower response times that could affect fast-paced games. If you value wide color coverage and HDR capabilities at a more affordable price and can forego an ultra-wide format, the Nubia RedMagic is compelling, but if screen size and immersive experiences are priorities and budget is less of a concern, consider the ViewSonic.
