If you prioritize a high-resolution screen for sharp images and detailed work, the KTC M27P20 Pro (IPS MiniLED) with its 4K resolution is a great choice that won't break the bank, and it also boasts excellent color accuracy for tasks like photo editing. It's also capable of HDR gaming and media consumption. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest more for a broader, more immersive gaming experience with superior contrast and faster response times, the LG 45GR95QE (W-OLED) with its ultrawide format and high refresh rate is worth considering, though its lower resolution and curtailed brightness may not be optimal for productivity or high-quality HDR content.

How the KTC M27P20 Pro (IPS MiniLED) and the LG 45GR95QE (W-OLED) compare to other monitors
"Gaming and HDR are the two target uses for this screen, and it does generally very well in both. For gaming there are good response times, a single overdrive mode experience for VRR, super low input lag and solid support for latest gen consoles too. The moderately high 160Hz refresh rate provides good motion clarity, and is a nice combination with the high 4K resolution that provides a sharp and crisp image."
"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."
