If image quality for tasks like digital photo editing or print photo editing is crucial to you, the LG 32EP950 with its superb color gamut coverage would be the better choice despite its higher price. However, if budget is a major concern and you're looking for a monitor that still offers excellent color depth and contrast for general media consumption and casual gaming, the Innocn 32Q1U may be more cost-effective. Neither monitor is ideal for competitive gaming due to the low refresh rate, but for less demanding games, both will perform well. Keep in mind, though, that text clarity is only fair on both, which could be a drawback for productivity tasks that involve reading or writing. Give Feedback
