If cost is a concern and you want a monitor that excels in competitive gaming with high refresh rates and low response times, the LG 45GR95QE-B (W-OLED) is a strong choice. However, it falls short in productivity due to its poor text clarity and image sharpness. In contrast, if you're focused on digital photo editing and print photo editing, offering a wider color gamut coverage, the LG 45GS95QE (W-OLED) would be a better option, albeit at a higher price. Neither monitor is ideal for HDR video editing or tasks requiring accurate text and image clarity. Both offer exceptional contrast and are suitable for HDR gaming and media consumption with their OLED technology. Give Feedback
