If you prioritize an exceptional gaming experience, the LG 27GR95QE with its OLED panel offers superior contrast and responsiveness, making it excellent for both casual and competitive gaming. However, this monitor might not be the best option for productivity and general media consumption. On the other hand, the LG 32GQ850's larger screen and IPS panel may be less expensive while offering wider viewing angles and better color accuracy for tasks like digital photo editing and print photo editing, but it does not excel in HDR gaming and media like the OLED option. If budget is a concern and you need a versatile monitor for both work and play, the LG 32GQ850 could be your choice; otherwise, for a premium gaming experience, you might prefer the LG 27GR95QE despite the higher cost.

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."
