If high-quality images and color accuracy are important to you, the Innocn 27M2V with its MiniLED technology is better for HDR gaming and media consumption, as well as digital and print photo editing. It offers a higher screen resolution for sharper images. However, if you prioritize a larger screen and a higher refresh rate for smoother competitive gaming experiences, the LG 32GQ850 is a better fit. The tradeoff here is that the LG's image and color performance is not as strong as the Innocn for productivity tasks like photo editing. Both monitors offer adjustable stands and similar connectivity options, but your decision should be based on whether you prioritize visual quality or gaming performance. Give Feedback

Display Ninja
Rob Shafer | January 2024
"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."
