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.

From filmmakers to colorists and everyone in between, this OLED display comes with just about everything that’ll satisfy professionals and enthusiasts. The undisputed champion of content creation monitors might still be the Apple Pro Display XDR for some, but the Asus PA32DC OLED puts up a heck of a fight for several grand less."

"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."
