Our Verdict

LG 48GQ900-B

LG 45GR95QE-B

The LG 48GQ900-B and the LG 45GR95QE-B are different OLED gaming monitors. The 48GQ900-B has a higher 4k resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio, essentially making it a small TV that delivers sharper images. It also has less overshoot with fast-moving objects, resulting in better motion handling. On the other hand, the 45GR95QE-B is an ultrawide monitor with more horizontal screen space, and its 240Hz refresh rate is also better if you want to use it for PC gaming.
