If you're on a budget and mainly use your computer for casual gaming, the Lenovo G24-20 (IPS) will save you money while offering a good gaming experience. However, if you’re a serious or competitive gamer, or if you enjoy high-quality HDR gaming and media consumption, and are willing to invest in a premium monitor, the LG 45GR95QE (W-OLED) offers superior image quality, deeper blacks, and a broader color spectrum. This LG monitor also has a higher refresh rate, which is better for fast-paced gaming but won't improve productivity tasks significantly. Keep in mind that the higher capabilities of the LG will come at a higher cost. Give Feedback

How the Lenovo G24-20 (IPS) 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."
