If competitive gaming is your priority, the Asus PG32UCDM is a strong choice due to its higher refresh rate, which leads to smoother gameplay and less ghosting. It's also a solid pick for HDR gaming and media consumption. However, for professional photo editing, especially for print, the LG 32EP950 stands out with its superior color accuracy and range. The LG monitor also has a matte finish which can reduce glare, whereas the glossy finish on the Asus might produce reflections. If you want to save money, go for the Asus, but if color critical tasks are essential and budget is not a constraint, the LG might be worth the extra investment. Give Feedback

TFT Central

Simon Baker | May 2021
"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."
