If you are focused on HDR gaming and media consumption, the Gigabyte monitor, with its wider screen and superb contrast, would provide an immersive experience, though it's not as well-suited for competitive gaming due to ghosting issues. The LG monitor, on the other hand, is excellent for competitive gaming with its higher refresh rate and superior response time, but with less screen real estate, it might not be as immersive for media consumption. For productivity, the Gigabyte's larger screen offers more space for multitasking, but if image clarity and text quality are crucial for your work, the LG might be a better fit despite its smaller size. Both monitors have their strengths in color accuracy and are suitable for digital photo editing, but the Gigabyte excels in color volume, providing richer and more vibrant hues. 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."
