Choosing between the LG 45GR95QE and the LG 45GR95QE-B, consider screen size as the main difference since both offer similar performance and features. If you prefer a larger screen for an immersive gaming and media experience, the LG 45GR95QE-B's 45-inch display will be more appealing. However, larger screens typically require more space, so ensure your setup can accommodate it. Both monitors offer excellent color and contrast for gaming and media. For productivity tasks involving text clarity and image detail, their performance is less impressive. Overall, your decision should weigh your preference for screen size against how much space you have and what tasks you prioritize. Give Feedback

How the LG 45GR95QE (W-OLED) and the LG 45GR95QE-B (W-OLED) compare to other monitors
"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."
