If you're a competitive gamer looking for fast response times and a high refresh rate, the LG 27GR95QL with its OLED technology would be better for you, though it may not be as bright for daytime viewing. However, if you prefer larger screens, enjoy 4K resolution, and work on photo editing that requires true-to-life colors with better static contrast, the Samsung S43CG70 would suit your productivity and media consumption needs more effectively. Keep in mind that the Samsung's larger size at 43 inches can make it less suitable for gaming due to its lower refresh rate and response time. Give Feedback
