If you're considering value for money, the LG 27EQ850 (W-OLED) provides a high-quality viewing experience for HDR gaming and media consumption without the higher price tag of the LG 32EP950 (Inkjet OLED). However, the larger screen size of the LG 32EP950 offers a more immersive experience for productivity and media consumption, albeit at a premium cost. Neither is ideal for competitive gaming due to their low refresh rates. If print photo editing is a priority, both monitors excel with exceptional color depth and gamut coverage, but the higher brightness of the LG 32EP950 may offer a slight edge in image clarity.

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."
