If you're looking for a monitor that's easier on the wallet and still offers a large, high-quality display for gaming with a fast refresh rate and high contrast, the LG 39GS95QE is a solid choice. It suits casual and competitive gaming well. However, its smaller screen size might be less immersive for media consumption compared to its counterpart. The LG 45GS95QE provides a bigger screen, which can enhance the experience for watching media and playing games but comes at a higher price. Despite its bigger size, it doesn't necessarily offer better performance for productivity tasks or gaming. Give Feedback
