For casual gaming and productivity with a tighter budget, the LG 34WQ73A (IPS) is a good choice due to its lower price; however, the IPS panel may not offer the best contrast and is not suitable for high-end HDR gaming or media. On the other hand, if you are willing to invest more for a premium gaming or media experience, the LG 45GR95QE-B (W-OLED) provides superior contrast and is well-suited for HDR content, but the higher cost and potential burn-in risk associated with OLED screens are factors to consider. If digital photo editing is important, note that the W-OLED monitor has a better color gamut coverage. Give Feedback
