If you prioritize a larger screen and a lower cost, the LG monitor offers a decent gaming and productivity experience with a respectable refresh rate for casual gaming. On the other hand, if you're willing to spend more, the Nubia RedMagic monitor provides superior image clarity, making it better for HDR gaming and media consumption, as well as higher resolution and color accuracy that benefits digital photo and HDR video editing. It also excels in competitive gaming with better response times and higher pixels per inch due to its smaller but sharper display. Choose LG for a budget-friendly, larger display or Nubia for a high-end, versatile performance in both gaming and creative tasks. Give Feedback
