If you're on a tighter budget and primarily interested in casual gaming or everyday productivity, the Innocn 27G1S with its smaller size and good refresh rates will suit your needs well. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest more for an immersive gaming and media experience, the LG 45GR95QE-B with its larger, curved screen, superior contrast, and OLED technology will provide a visually stunning experience and is especially good for competitive gaming due to its high refresh rate and low response time. However, the LG's larger size and curve might not be as practical for traditional productivity tasks. Give Feedback
