If deep blacks and high contrast are important to you, and you're engaged in a lot of gaming, then the LG 45GR95QE-B with its OLED screen and higher refresh rate is an excellent choice, though it comes at a higher price. On the other hand, for tasks that require accurate colors like digital photo editing, the LG DualUp 28MQ780's high pixel density and color accuracy will be beneficial, and it is more affordable. However, if HDR video editing is a priority, neither of these monitors would be ideal. Keep in mind that the unique aspect ratio of the DualUp might take some getting used to and isn't typically favored for gaming. Give Feedback
