If you prioritize high-resolution imagery and rich colors for tasks like photo editing or enjoying HDR media, the LG 27EQ850 with its 4K resolution could be the better choice, especially suitable if print photo editing is part of your workflow. However, if you're a competitive gamer looking for smoother gameplay with higher refresh rates, the LG 45GR95QE with its wider screen and faster response might be more appealing, although its resolution is lower, which could affect tasks that benefit from sharper images, like detailed graphical work or watching high-definition videos.

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."
