If you prioritize an immersive gaming experience with deep blacks and quick response times, especially in darker environments, the Corsair 45WQHD240 with its OLED panel would be an excellent choice. However, it's not as suitable for productivity tasks due to its poorer text clarity and brightness. On the other hand, if you're looking for a versatile monitor for detailed digital photo editing, HDR video editing, and productivity with crisp text and images, the Innocn 27M2U is better suited for those tasks, offering higher resolution and superior color accuracy at a more affordable price, although it's not as well-optimized for competitive gaming due to its lower refresh rate.

How the Corsair 45WQHD240 (W-OLED) and the Innocn 27M2U (IPS MiniLED) compare to other monitors
"The Innocn 27MU2 screen isn’t built to Apple standards, but it’s robust enough for desktop use and surprisingly lightweight, considering its image quality. The stand is rock steady and adjustable, plus the screen can be wall mounted. There are plenty of input options plus the ability to display two sources on screen at the same time."
