If you prioritize a sharp image and productivity, the Innocn 27M2V with its higher resolution and exceptional brightness makes it a solid choice, especially if you're into digital photo editing or print photo editing. On the other hand, the LG 45GR95QE offers a superior contrast ratio and faster response time, making it more suitable for competitive gaming enthusiasts who value smooth motion and deep blacks. However, it won't perform as well in productivity tasks and it's a more costly investment. So, if budget is a concern and you need a monitor for a mix of tasks including casual gaming, photo editing, and productivity, Innocn's option could serve you well, while the LG is more tailored for high-end gaming experiences.

How the Innocn 27M2V (IPS MiniLED) and the LG 45GR95QE (W-OLED) compare to other monitors
"Thanks to the wide color gamut, games and videos will look even more vibrant than the standard wide gamut displays (such as LG’s Nano IPS with 98% DCI-P3 and ~90% Adobe RGB, for instance), especially when it comes to blue, cyan and green shades. All in all, if you want a 27″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with a mini LED FALD backlight, the Innocn 27M2V is currently the best model available."
"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."
