If competitive gaming is a priority for you, the AOC AG456UCZD with its exceptional response time and very good refresh rate could offer a smooth and immersive gaming experience at a somewhat lower cost. However, if you're looking for a slightly larger screen and can accommodate a higher budget, the LG 45GS95QE might be worth the extra cost for similar gaming performance. Keep in mind, both choices have limited brightness which makes them less than ideal for HDR gaming and media consumption, and their color accuracy may not satisfy professional photo editing needs. Both monitors have OLED panels which offer deep blacks and high contrast, enhancing overall viewing experience but may be more prone to static image burn-in if not used carefully. Give Feedback
