If you're a competitive gamer looking for seamless gameplay, the LG with its very high refresh rate and excellent response is worthwhile, but its text clarity isn't as strong for productivity. On the other hand, the Nubia offers exceptional image clarity and text quality for productivity and digital photo editing at a more affordable price, but isn't as optimized for fast-paced gaming due to a lower refresh rate. Both monitors support HDR gaming but prioritize different features. The LG excels in gaming performance, while the Nubia shines in sharpness and color accuracy for creative work and media consumption. Give Feedback

How the LG 45GR95QE (W-OLED) and the Nubia RedMagic GM001J (IPS MiniLED) 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."
"The Redmagic GM001J is one of the best mini LED gaming monitors currently available thanks to its exceptional color gamut, fast response time and 1152-zone FALD."
