If you prioritize precision in colors for tasks like print photo editing or if HDR gaming and media consumption are important to you, the LG 32EP950, with its superior contrast and color depth, would be an excellent choice despite its higher price. However, the LG 34GP83A offers a larger screen and wider aspect ratio which might be preferred for immersive gaming and productivity, and it supports features like variable refresh rate, making it suitable for casual and some competitive gaming at a lower cost. The tradeoff with the 34GP83A is that it won't match the 32EP950 in color accuracy or contrast for high-end creative work or HDR content. Give Feedback

"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."
