If you prioritize competitive gaming and seek the highest refresh rates, the LG monitor with its higher refresh capability will serve you well, but be aware it comes at a higher price and lesser substance in areas like HDR peak brightness and color volumes compared to the Samsung. On the other hand, if you're looking for a monitor that excels in HDR gaming, media consumption, and has great color accuracy for photo editing, the Samsung Odyssey OLED offers a better balance at a lower cost. It's also slightly better suited for productivity due to its higher pixels per inch and text clarity. However, the Samsung monitor has a lower refresh rate than the LG, which might not appeal to competitive gamers. Give Feedback
