If you prioritize high-resolution content and work with digital photo editing, the Innocn 32M2V with its 4K resolution and excellent color accuracy would serve you well, especially if print photo editing is part of your workflow. This monitor is also suitable for HDR gaming and media consumption. On the other hand, if you're a competitive gamer looking for smoother gameplay, the LG 32GQ850's higher refresh rate will be more appealing, although it may not be as vibrant for high-resolution creative work or for watching HDR content. The Innocn offers better image clarity, while the LG has strengths in gaming responsiveness. Choose the Innocn for a strong all-rounder with a focus on visuals and the LG for a gaming-centric experience. Give Feedback
