If cost is a major factor for you, the Asus PA32DC (Inkjet OLED) could save you money while still providing an excellent experience for tasks like digital photo editing, HDR gaming, and media consumption due to its high contrast and color accuracy. However, the LG 32EP950 (Inkjet OLED), despite being more expensive, has slightly better peak brightness and USB connectivity options, potentially offering clearer visibility in various lighting conditions and more versatility for peripheral connections. Both have similar image quality and size, but the LG might provide a slight edge in visual clarity at a higher cost. Neither is ideal for competitive gaming due to their lower refresh rates.

"This screen is aimed at professional users, content creation and HDR video production. The OLED panel offers really great picture quality with bright, vivid colours, true deep blacks and infinite contrast ratio for SDR and HDR. The semi-glossy screen coating does add to the picture quality and feel of the screen as well."
