If you prioritize immersive gaming and are willing to invest more, the LG 45GS95QE (W-OLED) with its wider screen and better contrast is excellent for HDR gaming. Its color accuracy also suits digital photo editing. However, for productivity tasks like text-heavy applications and day-to-day use, the LG DualUp 28MQ780 (IPS) provides good image clarity and is more affordable. It's not as suitable for gaming due to its lower refresh rate, but its unique aspect ratio can enhance multitasking. Neither is ideal for competitive gaming due to response times, and if peak brightness is crucial, the W-OLED's capability is something to consider despite its higher cost. Give Feedback
