If you're looking for exceptional contrast and color intensity for HDR gaming and media, and are a competitive gamer needing high responsiveness, the Corsair 45WQHD240 with its OLED panel and higher refresh rate is a better option, despite the higher price. However, if your priority is everyday productivity, digital photo editing, and you prefer a monitor with an adjustable stand, the LG 34WQ73A might be a more cost-effective choice, offering good picture quality and text clarity, while saving you money. The LG is also better suited for print photo editing due to its color accuracy, but won't match the Corsair's performance in gaming or media display. Give Feedback
