Our Verdict

Samsung C34F791/CF791

LG 34WK95U-W

The two monitors are different types. For most people, the IPS panel LG 34WK95U is better than the VA panel Samsung C34F791/CF791. The LG supports HDR, has better viewing angles, and has a lower input lag. On the other hand, the Samsung CF791 has better blacks and will perform better in a dark room.
