If your focus is on a wider screen for productivity or an immersive gaming experience, the Acer Predator X45 with its larger, curved OLED screen can offer deep blacks and high contrast. It excels in HDR gaming and media consumption. However, the Innocn 27M2U, with a crisper 4K resolution on a smaller screen, is less expensive and better for tasks requiring high detail, such as digital photo editing. The 27M2U is not as suitable for HDR video editing but offers excellent image clarity for media consumption and productivity, making it a versatile choice for a variety of uses at a lower cost.

How the Acer Predator X45 (W-OLED) and the Innocn 27M2U (IPS MiniLED) compare to other monitors
"The Innocn 27MU2 screen isn’t built to Apple standards, but it’s robust enough for desktop use and surprisingly lightweight, considering its image quality. The stand is rock steady and adjustable, plus the screen can be wall mounted. There are plenty of input options plus the ability to display two sources on screen at the same time."
