If budget is a concern and high-quality HDR performance for gaming and media consumption is important, the Innocn 32M2V could serve you well, but if you're focused on competitive gaming and want the advantage of a higher refresh rate and better response time, the LG 32GQ950 would be more suitable despite its higher cost. While the Innocn offers a better contrast and is suitable for tasks like print photo editing, the LG may offer sharper motion clarity useful in fast-paced games, though it may fall short in HDR display performance. Both have good color accuracy for digital photo editing, so your decision should be based on whether gaming performance or cost and HDR quality are your priorities. Give Feedback
