If you prioritize a wide, immersive display for gaming and are willing to pay a premium, the Corsair 45WQHD240 with its large screen size and high refresh rate offers an excellent gaming experience, though its larger size may make it less suitable for tasks that require sharp text clarity. Conversely, the Phillips 27E1N8900 is less expensive and provides better text quality and image clarity, which is ideal for productivity and digital photo editing, plus it has a higher resolution which is great for media consumption; however, its lower refresh rate makes it less optimal for high-speed gaming.
