If saving money is a priority and you also engage in HDR gaming or media consumption, the Innocn 27M2U offers a solid experience with its high peak brightness and contrast, making it a good fit for both entertainment and general productivity. On the other hand, the LG 32EP950's premium Inkjet OLED display delivers superior image quality, better contrast, and is particularly well-suited for print photo editing, although its lower brightness might not serve as well in very brightly-lit environments. Both are less suited for competitive gaming due to lower refresh rates, but the LG excels in media consumption with its image clarity. Give Feedback

How the Innocn 27M2U (IPS MiniLED) and the LG 32EP950 (Inkjet OLED) compare to other monitors
"The Innocn 27MU2 screen isn’t built to Apple standards, but it’s robust enough for desktop use and surprisingly lightweight, considering its image quality. The stand is rock steady and adjustable, plus the screen can be wall mounted. There are plenty of input options plus the ability to display two sources on screen at the same time."
"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."
