If you prioritize a high-quality gaming experience with fast response time and are interested in vibrant colors and deep blacks for HDR gaming and media, the LG 27GR95QE (W-OLED) is an excellent choice, though it's less suited for productivity due to its smaller size. The LG 32UN650 (IPS), on the other hand, offers a larger screen and higher resolution which is great for productivity and media consumption but it doesn't perform as well in gaming due to its lower refresh rates and response time. The W-OLED is more costly, but it provides superior gaming performance and HDR quality, while the IPS is more budget-friendly and better for general use. Give Feedback

"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."
