If you prioritize a wide field of view for immersive gaming or multitasking, the AOC PD49 with its larger screen size and ultra-wide aspect ratio is better. However, if you're looking for a monitor with an adjustable stand for ergonomic setup, the LG 45GR95QE-B is the better choice. For competitive gaming, both monitors provide a high refresh rate, but the AOC offers a slightly wider variable refresh rate range for smoother gameplay. In contrast, the LG has a higher peak brightness which could enhance HDR gaming and media consumption, although it may not be as suitable for HDR video editing as the AOC. If you frequently engage in high-level color-sensitive work, the AOC's color gamut coverage makes it superior for tasks like digital photo editing and print photo editing. Consider the tradeoff between price and each monitor's specific strengths in color accuracy, ergonomic features, and gaming performance to decide which monitor better aligns with your specific needs.
