If competitive gaming is your priority, the Asus PG34WCDM (W-OLED) with its wider screen, high refresh rate, and very good response time will deliver a superior and immersive experience. For a focus on high-quality video editing or print photo editing, you might lean towards the LG 32EP950 (Inkjet OLED), which has better color accuracy for these professional tasks, albeit at a typically much higher price. However, for HDR gaming and media consumption, both have their strengths, with the Asus excelling in gaming and the LG in media with its excellent color gamut coverage. The Asus provides a more versatile experience at a lower cost, but if color work is critical, 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."
