If you're looking for a larger screen with better brightness for HDR gaming and watching movies, the LG 45GR95QE-B could be worth the higher price. It also edges out for competitive gaming with less ghosting. However, for casual gaming, general productivity, and digital photo editing, the more affordable LG 34GS95QE offers a sharper image and good overall performance. Both monitors provide deep blacks and wide viewing angles due to their OLED technology, but if print photo editing is critical, the 34GS95QE stands out with its color accuracy. Choose based on whether your priorities lean towards gaming and media (45GR95QE-B) or a balance of productivity and image work (34GS95QE). Give Feedback
