If you're on a budget and primarily focused on gaming or digital photo editing, the LG 27GP83B with its high refresh rate and good response time will serve you well, despite its lower HDR peak brightness which makes it less ideal for HDR content. However, if you're willing to invest in premium quality for a more immersive experience in HDR gaming and media consumption, as well as higher resolution for productivity tasks, the LG 32GS95UE with its superior contrast and color depth is the better option, though its higher price and lower refresh rate could be drawbacks for competitive gaming.
