If you prioritize a better gaming experience, especially in competitive games, and want more HDMI 2.1 ports for connecting modern gaming consoles or PCs, the AOC AG456UCZD would suit you well, as it has a solid competitive gaming performance, despite its slightly poorer text clarity which may affect productivity tasks. On the other hand, the Corsair 45WQHD240 offers slightly better image clarity and a higher HDR peak brightness, which is better for HDR gaming and media consumption. Consider that the Corsair monitor, despite its higher price, does not have an adjustable stand, which could limit ergonomic options for your setup. Give Feedback
