If competitive gaming is a priority, the Asus PG34WCDM with its outstanding refresh rate, response time, and very good gaming features provides an excellent experience at a lower price than the LG 45GS95QE. However, if screen size is crucial for productivity or immersive media consumption, the LG's larger 45-inch display may be more appealing despite the higher cost. For HDR gaming and media, both monitors perform well, but the Asus has a higher HDR peak brightness, which could enhance that experience. Print photo editing would be better on the LG due to its color accuracy. Both monitors have OLED panels which offer deep blacks and contrast, but might not be as bright overall compared to some non-OLED options. Give Feedback
