If you prioritize exceptional contrast and are interested in HDR gaming and media with true blacks, the Innocn 32Q1U with its OLED panel would be a superior choice despite the higher cost. However, if you're an avid gamer seeking high refresh rates, quicker response times, and variable refresh rate support for smooth gameplay, the LG 32GP850 offers better performance for less money. The LG might not match the Innocn in color depth or HDR quality but excels in competitive gaming scenarios. For general productivity and everyday use, both will serve well, but the LG's lower price point might make it more appealing for budget-conscious users. Give Feedback
