If you prioritize a larger screen and 4K resolution for a sharper image in gaming and productivity, the Asus PG32UCDM with its QD-OLED technology delivers excellent color and response times, making it suitable for HDR gaming and media consumption. However, the LG 45GR95QE, while often slightly less expensive, offers a wider 21:9 aspect ratio which provides an immersive experience for gaming and enhances multitasking. The LG's W-OLED technology also offers high brightness for HDR content, but its lower resolution might not be as good for detailed productivity tasks. Both have high refresh rates suitable for gaming, but the distinct features of each cater to different preferences in gaming and work. Give Feedback

How the Asus PG32UCDM (QD-OLED) and the LG 45GR95QE (W-OLED) compare to other monitors
"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."
