If your priority is a wider display for an immersive gaming or media experience, the Asus PG49WCD with its larger size and wider aspect ratio could be preferable; however, it may not be as suitable for productivity due to its extreme width. On the other hand, the Acer Predator X45, while offering a smaller screen size, could be better for productivity with its aspect ratio and has a very good refresh rate, making it versatile for both work and play. Both monitors are OLED, so they offer deep blacks and high contrast, but the Acer's peak brightness suggests it might handle HDR content better. If you engage in competitive gaming, the Acer's higher refresh rate could provide a smoother experience. For photo editing, both offer a high color gamut coverage, making them great choices.
