If you prioritize a larger screen and high contrast for immersive gaming and editing experiences, the Acer Predator X45 could be worth the extra cost. However, if you want a similar quality but slightly smaller monitor that still offers excellent gaming performance and is better suited for consuming media like movies and videos, the LG 34GS95QE would save you some money while still meeting those needs. Both monitors have their strengths in color accuracy and HDR content, making them solid choices for creative work as well. Keep in mind, neither are optimal for competitive gaming due to the potential for ghosting with their OLED panels. Give Feedback
