If you're looking for a large, immersive display for gaming with a wide aspect ratio, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 would be a superior choice, especially for HDR gaming and media consumption due to its excellent color performance. However, its size may not be as practical for traditional desk setups, and it might not be the best option for productivity tasks due to potential text clarity issues. On the other hand, the ViewSonic XG272 offers a more standard size and aspect ratio, which is great for both gaming and general use, along with good color accuracy, making it well-suited for digital photo editing. It also has a matte finish, which is preferable if you're concerned about reflections. Its smaller size and standard ratio could be a better fit for everyday productivity and general use. Consider the available space, your primary use cases, and your budget when deciding. Give Feedback
