If you prioritize a larger screen and sharper image for tasks like digital photo editing and watching movies in high dynamic range (HDR), the Gigabyte FO32U2 with its high resolution may suit you better. It's also beneficial for HDR gaming due to its significant peak brightness. The LG 45GR95QE, despite its higher cost, offers an ultra-wide display which is great for an immersive gaming experience and can enhance productivity with more screen real estate, but it might not be as good for media consumption or HDR video editing due to its lower peak brightness and different aspect ratio. Both monitors have their strengths for gaming; the Gigabyte FO32U2 excels in HDR gaming while the LG 45GR95QE's ultra-wide aspect could be more compelling for a broader field of view in games. Choose the Gigabyte for a balance between high-resolution content creation and consumption or the LG for an ultra-wide gaming and productivity focus. Give Feedback

How the Gigabyte FO32U2 (QD-OLED) and the LG 45GR95QE (W-OLED) compare to other monitors
"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."
