Considering the price difference, if high peak brightness and excellent contrast for immersive HDR gaming and media are priorities, the LG 27GR95QE may offer better value for money. However, if you're seeking a premium ultrawide experience with a more immersive aspect ratio for gaming and multitasking despite the higher cost, the LG 45GR95QE might be worth the investment. The larger screen size and ultrawide format of the LG 45GR95QE can enhance productivity but might not justify the price if budget is a concern or if a standard widescreen format suffices for your needs. Both monitors will perform poorly for tasks requiring accurate color representation, like digital photo editing, due to their fair color volume and poor brightness in comparison to other monitors tailored for such tasks.

"The LG 27GR95QE-B is a stellar display that makes 1440p again the PC gaming sweet spot due to its high 240Hz refresh rate and fantastic latency. However, its low overall brightness and lack of onboard settings keep it from being great."

"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."
