If you prioritize competitive gaming and want the best performance with fast response times and minimal ghosting, the Asus PG34WCDM stands out. However, this comes at the tradeoff of lesser productivity performance. The LG 45GR95QE-B offers a larger screen, which might be better for immersive gaming and media consumption, but its overall gaming performance and text clarity fall short compared to the Asus. The LG may also appeal for casual gaming and offers a slightly lower price point, but keep in mind that its image clarity isn't as good as the Asus. Both are suitable for HDR gaming and media consumption, but if the absolute best gaming performance is critical, the Asus may be worth the extra cost. Give Feedback
