If you prioritize an immersive, wide-screen experience for HDR gaming and media, and are willing to invest in a high-end product, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 could be the right choice. However, it's not as well-suited for productivity due to its ultra-wide aspect ratio. On the other hand, the ViewSonic XG272 offers a traditional aspect ratio that's better for productivity and provides excellent color accuracy for photo editing, but may not offer the same level of brightness in HDR content as the Samsung. If budget is a significant concern, the ViewSonic may offer a balanced experience at a lower cost. Give Feedback
