If you're primarily focused on productivity or HDR video editing and are budget-conscious, the Innocn 27M2U (IPS MiniLED) with its very good image clarity and high color fidelity for print photo editing could be appealing. On the other hand, if you can invest more for an immersive casual gaming and media consumption experience with exceptional contrast and color quality, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 G85SB (QD-OLED) with its wider screen and features supportive of competitive gaming, like a higher refresh rate and variable refresh rate range, would be more suitable. However, the Samsung may not be the best choice if a major part of your work involves tasks where absolute color accuracy is critical, such as digital photo editing. Give Feedback

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."
