If you prioritize high-quality image editing and precise color representation for print media with a larger screen, the LG 32EP950 (Inkjet OLED) is a strong choice, but be aware it's not well-suited for gaming and is more costly. Conversely, the LG 45GR95QE (W-OLED) offers broader gaming capabilities, including a higher refresh rate and variable refresh rate support, and a unique aspect ratio for immersive experiences at a lower price, but it's less ideal for professional color work and has a smaller screen.

How the LG 32EP950 (Inkjet OLED) and the LG 45GR95QE (W-OLED) compare to other monitors
"This screen is aimed at professional users, content creation and HDR video production. The OLED panel offers really great picture quality with bright, vivid colours, true deep blacks and infinite contrast ratio for SDR and HDR. The semi-glossy screen coating does add to the picture quality and feel of the screen as well."
"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."
