If high-quality color accuracy essential for professional photo and video editing is important to you, the Asus PA32UCG-K (IPS MiniLED) offers excellent color performance and is well suited for HDR video editing. On the other hand, if you prioritize gaming, particularly competitive gaming where high refresh rates and fast response times are key, the LG 45GR95QE (W-OLED) with its superior refresh rate and response time would better meet your needs, but it falls short in productivity and media consumption tasks. Keep in mind, the Asus comes at a higher price but with more robust features for creative professionals. Give Feedback

"Combining features that designers and content makers need, the Asus ProArt PA32UCG-K Display represents the true cost of accurate colour. It’s expensive, heavy and has weird OSD controls, but the screen is glorious when working with HDR video or game graphics."

"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."
