If you're into competitive gaming, the Innocn 27G1S with its higher refresh rate and response time would suit you well and save you money, but its smaller size and lower resolution might not be ideal for immersive media consumption or precise productivity tasks. Conversely, the LG 32UN650 is more costly but offers a larger screen and higher resolution, enhancing your experience with detailed media and multiple open applications, though it has a lower refresh rate which is not optimal for fast-paced gaming. Neither is particularly geared for high-end HDR content. Choose based on whether gaming performance or workspace and media detail are your priority. Give Feedback
