If you prioritize a large, ultra-wide screen for an immersive experience in gaming and media, along with higher resolution, the LG 45GS95QE could be a great choice, albeit at a higher price. However, for a more budget-friendly option that still provides excellent color and contrast, especially for photo editing and equally good gaming capabilities, the ViewSonic XG272 would be suitable, with the added benefit of extra USB ports with power delivery. Keep in mind the LG has a larger 45-inch screen which might not be as sharp as the ViewSonic's 27-inch screen due to lower pixels per inch. Give Feedback
