If you're a competitive gamer looking for top-notch response times and a higher refresh rate, the LG 45GR95QE could be the ideal choice despite its premium price; however, for casual gaming and superior media consumption experiences, the Acer X34V might be more compelling due to its better HDR brightness and more favorable price. Both monitors offer excellent color depth and contrast given their OLED technology, but if productivity is also a key concern, the Acer might fall short due to its lower text clarity and image sharpness compared to the LG. Consider how your budget aligns with your priority in gaming performance, media quality, or productivity tasks when making your decision. Give Feedback

Games Radar
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."
