If you prioritize a superior gaming experience, particularly in fast-paced games where response time and motion clarity matter, the LG 27GR95QE with W-OLED technology makes a compelling choice, offering excellent contrast and quick response times. However, its smaller size and lower resolution might not be ideal for expansive productivity tasks or detailed media consumption. On the other hand, the LG 32GQ950 boasts a larger screen with higher resolution, which enhances productivity and media experiences by providing more screen real estate and sharper images, but it comes at a premium price and may not match the gaming performance of its W-OLED counterpart. Both monitors display vibrant colors well, but the 27GR95QE offers better HDR capabilities. Consider what you value most in your daily use—be it gaming prowess, workspace, image sharpness, or budget—to guide your decision. Give Feedback

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."
