If you prioritize a wide, immersive display for HDR gaming and top-notch contrast, the Corsair 45WQHD240 (W-OLED) with its OLED technology offers excellent color depth and superior image clarity, but is pricier and lacks productivity benefits like text quality. Conversely, if you seek a balance between cost and performance for casual gaming and productivity with good text clarity and color accuracy, the LG 32GP850 (IPS) is less expensive, though its HDR performance isn't as strong and its contrast doesn't match that of the Corsair. The LG's IPS panel provides a stable image quality with an adjustable stand, better suited for everyday use. Give Feedback
