If you're looking for a high-quality display primarily for HDR gaming and media consumption without as much concern for digital photo editing, the LG 27EP950 may be the right choice, especially if budget is a key consideration, as it is less expensive. However, if print photo editing is a significant part of your workflow and a larger screen size is preferred, the LG 32EP950, despite its higher cost, offers the additional real estate and better suitability for that purpose. Neither model is ideal for competitive gaming due to lower refresh rates, but casual gamers may find either suitable. Give Feedback

TFT Central
Simon Baker | May 2021
"This screen is aimed at professional users, content creation and HDR video production. The OLED panel offers really great picture quality with bright, vivid colours, true deep blacks and infinite contrast ratio for SDR and HDR. The semi-glossy screen coating does add to the picture quality and feel of the screen as well."
