If you prioritize a premium gaming experience, especially for competitive gaming that requires fast response times, the LG 32GS95UE with its OLED panel and higher refresh rate could be an excellent choice. However, for a balance of media consumption, productivity, and casual gaming at a lower cost, the larger Samsung S43CG70 may be more suitable despite its lower refresh rate and responsiveness. The LG's OLED offers best-in-class contrast and is great for HDR content, while the Samsung's Mini LED VA panel offers good contrast and is better for wider-viewing scenarios. The decision hinges on whether the higher cost for gaming performance and OLED quality is worth it over the Samsung's affordability and larger screen size. Give Feedback
