If you're primarily concerned with value and everyday productivity, the LG 34WQ73A with its larger screen and good image clarity is a good choice at a lower price. However, if you're a serious gamer or want top-notch contrast and color depth for HDR gaming and media, the LG 45GR95QE, with its superior contrast and faster response times, offers a premium experience but at a higher cost. Keep in mind, the OLED panel of the LG 45GR95QE may not be as suitable for tasks that prioritize text clarity due to its lower pixels per inch. Give Feedback

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."
