If you prioritize high-quality HDR gaming and media consumption and are engaged in print photo editing, the LG 32EP950 with its Inkjet OLED panel offers superior contrast and color depth, making it a fantastic choice despite its premium price. However, if your budget is tighter and your main uses are productivity and digital photo editing without needing the top-tier color accuracy for print, the Dell U2723QE provides excellent image quality and larger screen real estate for less money. Keep in mind, neither is ideal for competitive gaming due to their lower refresh rates and response times. Give Feedback
