If you are an avid gamer seeking a premium experience, with a focus on high refresh rates and superior contrast, the Corsair 45WQHD240 could be worth the investment despite its higher price. Its OLED panel delivers excellent color and contrast, enriching HDR gaming and media consumption. However, if your activities are more general, including productivity and casual media consumption, and budget is a concern, the LG 34WQ75C could be a cost-effective choice. Its IPS panel offers decent image clarity and color for daily tasks, with the benefit of an adjustable stand for ergonomic comfort. Keep in mind, the LG is not ideal for HDR content and lacks the high refresh rate of the Corsair, making it less suitable for high-end gaming. Give Feedback
