If you prioritize a sharper image and work in HDR video editing or print photo editing, the Innocn 27M2U with its 4K resolution and strong HDR support is an excellent choice, despite its limited suitability for fast-paced gaming due to a lower refresh rate. On the other hand, if you're looking for an immersive gaming experience with a wider display and a high refresh rate, and are okay with a lower resolution, the LG 45GR95QE-B may be worth the extra investment, though it may not be as well-suited for productivity tasks due to its size and aspect ratio.

How the Innocn 27M2U (IPS MiniLED) and the LG 45GR95QE-B (W-OLED) compare to other monitors
"The Innocn 27MU2 screen isn’t built to Apple standards, but it’s robust enough for desktop use and surprisingly lightweight, considering its image quality. The stand is rock steady and adjustable, plus the screen can be wall mounted. There are plenty of input options plus the ability to display two sources on screen at the same time."
