If you prioritize a high refresh rate and performance in competitive gaming, the LG 45GR95QE with W-OLED technology would be an excellent choice and offers great color depth and contrast, enhancing your gaming and media consumption experiences; however, its text clarity and image clarity for productivity tasks are less ideal. On the other hand, the LG DualUp 28MQ780 is less expensive and better suited for productivity with its unique screen ratio and clarity. Still, it falls short for gaming and media consumption, with a lower refresh rate and gaming performance compared to the 45GR95QE. 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."
