If you're looking for a monitor with high contrast and brightness, both the Acer Predator X45 and LG 45GS95QE offer excellent OLED displays, suitable for HDR gaming and media consumption with vivid colors and deep blacks. However, the Acer Predator X45 stands out with better color accuracy, making it a superior choice for digital photo editing and tasks requiring color precision. If budget is a concern and you prioritize editing performance, the Acer is the more cost-effective option. Conversely, if you're prepared to invest more for similar performance with slight variations in color representation, the LG could be considered. Both are well-suited for casual and competitive gaming due to their refresh rates and response times. Give Feedback
