For competitive gamers looking for the best response times and low ghosting, the Gigabyte FO27Q3 would be an excellent choice, especially with its lower price point. However, for those valuing an ultrawide screen for immersive gaming and multitasking but can afford a higher cost, the LG 45GR95QE offers a wider field of view that might justify the investment. Both monitors have OLED technology which ensures deep blacks and high contrast, making them great for HDR gaming and media consumption. The Gigabyte is better for digital photo editing, while the LG has limitations in image clarity and text quality due to its lower pixels per inch. 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."
