If you prefer a larger screen for productivity with good contrast and value for money, the Gigabyte M32UC could be your choice; its larger size and sharp resolution are great for multitasking and immersion in games and media. However, the LG 45GR95QE offers superior color depth and responsiveness, making it a top contender for serious competitive gaming and enjoying high-quality HDR content. While the LG's curved, ultrawide screen can be impressive for gaming and movies, its higher cost and smaller size may limit its appeal for multitasking when compared to the Gigabyte. Ultimately, if competitive gaming and HDR media are your priorities and budget is less of a concern, consider the LG; if you’re focused on a balance of productivity, casual gaming, and value, the Gigabyte could serve you better.

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."
