If cost is a concern and you're looking for excellent picture quality for HDR gaming, media consumption, and photo editing, the Phillips 34M2C8600 (QD-OLED) is a more affordable option that still offers a superb display with vibrant colors and high brightness. On the other hand, if you prefer a larger screen and can invest more, the LG 45GS95QE (W-OLED) is a premium choice with impressive contrast and color depth, but falls short in brightness compared to the Phillips model. For competitive gaming, the LG provides a slightly better experience due to its refresh rate, but the Phillips competes closely with good overall gaming performance. Both have their strengths, so your decision should weigh the importance of screen size, budget, and specific use cases like gaming or professional creative work. Give Feedback
