The Innocn 32Q1U (W-OLED) offers exceptional contrast and is suitable for HDR gaming and media consumption, with better color accuracy for professional photo editing, making it a solid choice for content creators requiring precision and for those who prioritize immersive viewing experiences. However, the LG 32GQ850 (IPS) has a higher refresh rate, which provides an advantage in competitive gaming with smoother visuals and less ghosting. While the LG may not match the Innocn's contrast or HDR capabilities, it is considerably more affordable. Therefore, if budget is a concern and competitive gaming is important to you, the LG could be the better choice. Give Feedback
