If you prioritize a superior gaming experience, particularly for HDR content, the LG 27GR95QE with its W-OLED panel provides deep blacks and high contrast, which makes it excellent for immersive gaming and watching HDR movies. However, for general productivity and more casual gaming, the LG 32GP850 is a larger, yet less expensive option. While it won't deliver the same level of HDR performance and contrast as the OLED, its IPS panel is still suitable for digital photo editing and provides good color accuracy. Keep in mind that the OLED model has faster response times for less ghosting in fast-paced games, but if budget is a concern and you're not heavily into competitive gaming, the IPS display offers good value for a wider range of uses.

PC Gamer
Jorge Jimenez | March 2023
"The LG 27GR95QE-B is a stellar display that makes 1440p again the PC gaming sweet spot due to its high 240Hz refresh rate and fantastic latency. However, its low overall brightness and lack of onboard settings keep it from being great."
