If you prioritize a wider color gamut suitable for print photo editing and richer HDR video editing, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 offers better performance, with a higher resolution and larger screen size that may enhance your productivity and media consumption experiences. However, the LG 45GR95QE-B excels in gaming with less ghosting and offers good HDR gaming and media viewing, though it's not as well-suited for tasks requiring accurate color representation like high-end photo editing. Both have excellent refresh rates for smooth gaming but consider that the Samsung’s larger size and aspect ratio might require a more powerful graphics setup to take full advantage of its capabilities.
