How the Innocn 27M2V (IPS MiniLED) and the LG 32UN650 (IPS) 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."
"The LG 32UN650 is a 32″ 4K IPS monitor with gorgeous colors and wide viewing angles. Additionally, it supports FreeSync, HDR and has a stylish design with a height-adjustable stand. Overall, it is an excellent monitor for casual PC and console gaming, light office work and content creation – and everything in between! However, there are better and cheaper alternatives available."
