If you prioritize a high-quality, versatile monitor for productivity and HDR media consumption while on a tighter budget, the Innocn 27M2V is an excellent choice. It offers a strong balance of features suitable for digital and print photo editing, casual and competitive gaming, as well as media enjoyment. However, if you're willing to invest more for a larger screen and superior contrast which matters for color work and immersive movie watching, then the Innocn 32Q1U could appeal to you, although it may fall short for gaming due to its lower refresh rate and potential ghosting issues.

How the Innocn 27M2V (IPS MiniLED) and the Innocn 32Q1U (W-OLED) compare to other monitors
"Thanks to the wide color gamut, games and videos will look even more vibrant than the standard wide gamut displays (such as LG’s Nano IPS with 98% DCI-P3 and ~90% Adobe RGB, for instance), especially when it comes to blue, cyan and green shades. All in all, if you want a 27″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with a mini LED FALD backlight, the Innocn 27M2V is currently the best model available."
