If superior competitive gaming performance is a priority for you, with exceptional refresh rates and the best response times to minimize ghosting, the Asus PG32UCDM (QD-OLED) is a great choice, though it comes at a higher price. It also has excellent color depth and would better suit HDR gaming and media consumption. On the other hand, if you're on a budget and need a larger screen mainly for casual gaming, media viewing, or productivity, the Samsung S43CG70 (VA Mini LED) could be more cost-effective, despite lower refresh rates and response times that might not be ideal for fast-paced games.
