If you prioritize high-refresh-rate gaming and plan on playing fast-paced games where response times are crucial, the AOC AG276QZD (W-OLED) is a better fit despite its higher price. However, bear in mind that it may not offer the best experience for productivity tasks due to its smaller screen size and lower resolution. On the other hand, the LG 32UN650 (IPS) offers a larger screen and higher resolution, which is advantageous for tasks requiring more screen real estate and detail, like photo editing and media consumption, all at a lower cost, but it's less suitable for competitive gaming due to its lower refresh rates and response times.
