If you prioritize a sharp image and are looking for strong performance in productivity tasks like digital photo editing, the Innocn 27M2V with its MiniLED panel provides better contrast and a higher brightness, which is also advantageous for HDR gaming and media consumption. However, if you want a larger screen size for a more immersive experience and don't mind paying a premium, the LG 32GQ950 offers a broader display while still maintaining a quality picture for photo editing and casual gaming, although it falls short in contrast and peak brightness compared to the Innocn. Both are suitable for general gaming with good refresh rates, but the Innocn excels in image clarity and text quality, which could make it more appealing for a variety of uses at a lower cost.

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."
