If you value sharper text and image clarity for productivity and casual gaming, consider the 27-inch LG 27GP83B with its higher refresh rate, which offers smoother visuals, particularly for fast-paced games. Conversely, if screen real estate and higher resolution are priorities, particularly for media consumption and tasks that benefit from larger workspace, the 32-inch LG 32UN650 with its 4K resolution could be your choice – though it may not be as responsive for gaming due to its lower refresh rate. Neither is ideal for HDR gaming or professional color work, and both have their strengths in different usage scenarios. Give Feedback
