If you're looking for a balance between cost and performance, the AOC AG276QZD offers a very good gaming experience without stretching your budget as much as the LG 45GS95QE would. However, the LG monitor, while more expensive, provides a wider screen which can enhance immersion, especially for media consumption with its 21:9 aspect ratio. Both have OLED technology which means excellent contrast and color depth, but the LG might be better for print photo editing due to its wider color gamut coverage. For purely competitive gaming, the AOC with its higher peak brightness could offer an edge, but for a more expansive and immersive experience at a higher cost, the LG takes the lead. Give Feedback
