If you're looking for a monitor that's excellent for competitive gaming and has a high refresh rate, the LG 45GS95QE could fit your needs but be aware that it may not offer the best experience for media consumption or productivity due to its lower brightness and text clarity. On the other hand, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 G95SC also excels in competitive gaming and shines particularly in media consumption with its higher peak brightness and larger screen. While the Samsung is less expensive, it's better for productivity tasks as well, making it a more versatile option if you're looking to balance work and play. Give Feedback
