If you prioritize superior contrast, better color depth, and are focused on high-quality HDR gaming and media consumption, the LG 27EP950 might be worth the premium price. However, the LG 32UN650 offers a larger screen and is more affordable, suitable for everyday tasks and productivity, though it may not provide the same level of image clarity and is less suitable for HDR content. For competitive gaming, neither of these monitors excel due to their lower refresh rates, but LG 32UN650 does support variable refresh rate within a certain range to help reduce screen tearing. If you're into digital or print photo editing, the LG 27EP950's OLED panel offers advantages in color accuracy, but keep in mind the cost difference. Give Feedback
