The Innocn 27M2U is better for HDR gaming and media consumption, digital photo editing, and tasks requiring accurate colors, such as print photo editing, thanks to its high brightness and excellent color accuracy. The LG 32GP850, on the other hand, offers a smoother experience for casual and competitive gaming due to its higher refresh rate and variable refresh rate support. If you value a larger screen and game performance over superior color accuracy and HDR, the LG could suit you better, but for vibrant HDR content and color-sensitive work, the Innocn is the better choice.

Forbes
Mark Sparrow | November 2022
"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."
