If you prioritize a larger, ultrawide display and higher HDR brightness for immersive gaming and media consumption, the Corsair 45WQHD240 would be the better choice, but it has poor productivity and media consumption performance. On the other hand, the Pixio PX277 OLED Max offers excellent color accuracy and is better for tasks like digital and print photo editing while also being good for casual and competitive gaming, all at a typically much lower price, making it a more versatile option. Keep in mind, the Corsair offers a much wider screen which can enhance the gaming and watching experience but lacks an adjustable stand, whereas the Pixio, with its HDR capabilities and color accuracy, is also suitable for creative work.
