If you prioritize stunning contrast and are interested in high-quality HDR gaming and media consumption, the Innocn 32Q1U with its OLED panel offers deep blacks and is suitable for digital and print photo editing due to its color accuracy. However, if you lean towards a mix of gaming, especially competitive gaming, and productivity, the LG 32GQ950 may be the better choice for its higher refresh rate, lower response time, and features like variable refresh rate (VRR), despite it not being as exceptional for HDR content. The Innocn has a better static contrast, but the LG compensates with a smoother gaming experience and better overall productivity capabilities. Give Feedback
