If you're looking for a monitor primarily for productivity and digital photo editing, the Acer Predator X45 with its adjustable stand promotes better ergonomics and comfort. It also excels in color-related tasks, making it good for print photo editing. However, if competitive gaming is your main focus and you want higher peak brightness for HDR gaming, despite being pricier, the Corsair 45WQHD240 offers an excellent refresh rate and lower response time, reducing ghosting for a smoother gaming experience. Both monitors have similar large screen sizes and resolutions, ensuring immersive gaming and media consumption on a wide, clear display. Give Feedback
