If you're looking for a more affordable monitor that's good for casual gaming and has respectable performance in productivity tasks and digital photo editing, the LG 27GP83B might be a wise choice. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest in a premium-priced monitor, the LG 45GS95QE offers an exceptional gaming experience, especially for competitive gaming due to its superior contrast and response time. It also excels in HDR video editing and print photo editing thanks to its color accuracy. However, this model's larger size and wider aspect ratio might not be as versatile for all types of productivity work and could take up more desk space. Give Feedback
