If budget is a concern and you need a good all-around monitor for productivity with decent gaming performance, the Asus XB273U F (IPS) could be the better choice. On the other hand, the LG 45GR95QE (W-OLED) offers superior contrast and is well-suited for HDR gaming and media consumption, but it may not be as good for tasks that require accurate color representation, like photo editing. Also, the LG's curve and wider aspect ratio could be immersive for gaming and movies, but some might find it less ideal for productivity tasks. Both monitors support high refresh rates for smooth gameplay, but the LG may provide a more vivid picture due to its OLED technology. Give Feedback

Phil Hayton | August 2023
"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."
