If you prioritize a large, immersive screen for a more expansive field of view during gaming or multitasking, the Samsung monitor offers a significantly larger ultrawide screen which could enhance your experience. However, it's at a higher price point. The ViewSonic, while less expensive and having a smaller screen, still provides a high-quality display suitable for gaming with excellent contrast and decent color accuracy for creative work. Both have good refresh rates for smooth gameplay, but if you're looking to save money and don't need the extra screen real estate, the ViewSonic could be a better choice. Give Feedback
