If you're a casual gamer or need a monitor for productivity tasks and are looking to save money, the LG 34GP83A (IPS) would be a good fit. However, if you're willing to invest in a premium gaming experience and want to enjoy high-quality HDR content, the LG 45GR95QE (W-OLED) offers superior contrast and is well-suited for competitive gaming as well. Keep in mind, though, the higher cost might not be justified if you primarily use the monitor for tasks that do not benefit from the OLED's advanced features. Give Feedback

How the LG 34GP83A (IPS) and the LG 45GR95QE (W-OLED) compare to other monitors
"The LG 34GP83A is an excellent monitor for the price! It offers flawless performance thanks to its rapid response time, low input lag, high refresh rate, and certified G-SYNC compatibility. Moreover, its Nano IPS panel ensures vibrant colors which along with the 3440×1440 ultrawide resolution makes for a stunning and immersive viewing experience."
"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."
