If you prioritize a larger screen and exceptional gaming performance including HDR, the AOC PD49 with its vast display and high contrast might be worth the premium cost. However, it's not as well-suited for productivity due to its lower text quality and image clarity. The LG 39GS95QE is less expensive and still offers excellent gaming capabilities but with a smaller screen and lacks in HDR content quality. For tasks that demand accurate color reproduction, like photo editing, the AOC falls short, but the LG is suitable. Choose the AOC for an immersive gaming experience and the LG for a balance of gaming and color-sensitive work. Give Feedback
