If you prioritize competitive gaming and are willing to invest in a premium monitor, the Corsair 45WQHD240 offers excellent refresh rates and low response times, enhancing your gaming experience. However, its higher price and poor performance in productivity and media consumption due to weaker text clarity and image clarity make it less versatile. On the other hand, the LG 39GS95QE is more affordable and still provides a great gaming experience, also offering an adjustable stand and better suitability for print photo editing, making it more well-rounded if you're interested in a mix of activities including content creation and everyday use.
