If you're a competitive gamer seeking an ultra-wide and immersive experience, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 with its large screen and high refresh rate could be a great choice. However, it's more costly and not the best for HDR gaming or accurate color-related tasks. On the other hand, the ViewSonic is more affordable and excels in color accuracy and contrast, making it suitable for HDR gaming and digital photo editing, but it has a smaller screen and may not be as suited for highly competitive gaming due to its lower refresh rate compared to the Samsung.
