If you prioritize high-end photo editing with accurate colors and deep blacks, and can afford a premium-priced monitor, the LG 32EP950 with its OLED panel is excellent, particularly for print photo editing. However, it's not the best for gaming due to its lower refresh rate. On the other hand, the LG 32UN650 offers a midrange price and is a solid all-rounder with good color accuracy, but falls short for HDR gaming or editing. If budget is a concern and you desire a balance between productivity and casual gaming, the LG 32UN650 might serve you well, but it doesn't excel in any specific area like the LG 32EP950 does for professional photo work.

"This screen is aimed at professional users, content creation and HDR video production. The OLED panel offers really great picture quality with bright, vivid colours, true deep blacks and infinite contrast ratio for SDR and HDR. The semi-glossy screen coating does add to the picture quality and feel of the screen as well."
