The AOC AG456UCZD (W-OLED) offers an ultra-wide screen which is great for immersive gaming and multitasking, with a high refresh rate making it very suitable for competitive gaming. However, it has lesser peak brightness, which can affect HDR performance and may not be the best for tasks requiring color accuracy. On the other hand, the LG 32EP950 (Inkjet OLED) delivers higher resolution and outstanding color accuracy, making it highly suitable for digital photo editing and HDR video editing, with excellent media consumption quality. It has a smaller screen and lower refresh rate though, which isn't ideal for competitive gaming. Choose the AOC for a budget-friendly, gaming-focused experience, or the LG for professional-grade color work and media enjoyment. Give Feedback
