If you prioritize competitive gaming, the Asus PG34WCDM with its exceptional response time and refresh rates could provide an edge with smoother visuals. However, its less impressive text clarity and brightness might not be ideal for everyday productivity. Alternatively, the LG 45GR95QE is a bit more affordable and still offers great gaming performance but falls short in media consumption with lower peak brightness compared to the Asus. The LG's smaller screen size could also be a drawback if you prefer a more immersive gaming and viewing experience. Both monitors have OLED technology for excellent contrast and color depth, so they excel in producing rich and vibrant images. Give Feedback

How the Asus PG34WCDM (W-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."
