If you're looking for exceptional contrast and are interested in HDR gaming and media consumption, the Innocn 32Q1U might suit you. Its OLED technology offers deep blacks and is great for editing photos, especially for print. However, its poorer refresh rate could affect gaming performance. The LG 38WN95C, while more expensive, offers a wider screen with a unique aspect ratio that can enhance productivity and multitasking. It also has a better refresh rate which is suitable for casual gaming. Keep in mind that IPS panels like the LG's don't match the contrast of OLEDs, but it has a more consistent image clarity. If you need a monitor that can handle a variety of tasks reasonably well and favor a larger, ultrawide screen, the LG could be worth the extra cost. Give Feedback
