If you prioritize precise colors for digital photo editing and print production, the Acer XB323U-GX with its IPS panel is better suited for these tasks due to its strong coverage of color gamuts used in digital media. Entrepreneurs and multitaskers may find its larger screen size more beneficial for productivity. However, if you're focused on an immersive gaming and HDR media experience, the LG 45GR95QE's W-OLED panel offers superior contrast and quicker response time, enhancing both competitive and casual gaming, especially in dark scenes. The LG also sports a wider, more cinematic aspect ratio, which can be a boon for movie enthusiasts but may present letterboxing when watching standard widescreen content. 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."
