Our Verdict
Samsung M5300
Samsung M4500
The Samsung M5300 is better than the Samsung M4500, unless you use it mostly in a dark room. The M5300 has an IPS panel, which is better suited for a wide viewing area in a brighter room. The M4500 has a VA panel, which has a worse viewing angle but much better native contrast. The M5300 also has a higher native resolution and is available in larger sizes, as well as less input lag for gamers.
