If you prioritize a wider screen and slightly higher brightness for immersive gaming and media experiences, the LG 45GR95QE is an excellent choice, though it's more expensive. However, if budget is a concern or if you want better image clarity for productivity and digital photo editing, the Acer X27U is a more cost-effective option that still delivers high-quality visuals for HDR gaming. The LG 45GR95QE's ultrawide aspect might not be as suitable for productivity tasks as Acer's traditional aspect ratio. Both are strong in color accuracy; however, keep in mind that text clarity is not a strong suit for either monitor. Give Feedback

Phil Hayton | August 2023
"The LG UltraGear 45GR95QE-B is a brilliant ultrawide gaming monitor that'll dominate your desk, and its 800R curve serves to trick the senses. It's ridiculously pricey, and 4K fans may notice the difference with this 4K panel, but its OLED capabilities and arsenal of features almost justify its price tag. Just make sure you've got decent PC specs and plenty of space for this brute before parting with any cash."
