If you prioritize a larger screen and a higher refresh rate for fast-paced gaming, the Corsair 45WQHD240 is a solid choice, despite its premium price and poorer performance in tasks that require accurate color representation, such as digital photo editing. On the other hand, the Philips 34M2C8600 offers better brightness and color accuracy, making it more suitable for HDR gaming, media consumption, and creative work involving photo and video editing, all at a lower price point. Both have excellent contrast being OLEDs, but if you need a more versatile monitor that excels in both gaming and productivity, the Philips may offer a better value. Give Feedback
