If you prioritize a larger screen and ultrawide aspect ratio for immersive gaming and multitasking, the Acer Predator X45 may be the better choice despite its higher price. However, if you prefer higher pixels per inch for sharper images and a standard aspect ratio that's typically better for general use and a range of games, the LG 27GR95QL is more cost-effective while still offering excellent color depth and contrast. Both monitors provide great experiences for HDR gaming and media, although the Acer's higher peak brightness could enhance HDR performance. Neither is ideal for productivity due to poor text clarity and image clarity. Give Feedback
