Choosing between the Innocn 32Q1U and the LG 27GP850 depends largely on your priorities and budget. If exceptional contrast and deep blacks are important, and you're interested in high-quality HDR gaming and media consumption or digital photo editing, the Innocn 32Q1U's OLED panel excels in these areas, but it's more expensive. On the other hand, the LG 27GP850 offers very good performance for competitive gaming due to its faster response time and motion clarity, and it's also suitable for casual gaming and productivity. It's less suited for HDR content and media consumption, but it's more budget-friendly. Give Feedback

Tim Schiesser | May 2021
"In my opinion, the LG 27GP850 is the best in its class from the monitors I've tested, with the combination of great response times and a functional sRGB mode pushing it over the edge. It's generally worth the price premium and its overall balance of features with few weak areas makes it a monitor you won't be disappointed to have."
