If you prioritize exceptional color accuracy, deep blacks, and are interested in HDR gaming or professional photo editing, the LG 32EP950, with its high contrast and color fidelity, would be a great investment, despite its premium price. However, if your focus is on casual gaming, productivity, and you're looking for a wider screen with a unique aspect ratio for multitasking at a lower cost, the LG 34WQ73A would be a more economical and practical choice. Neither monitor is optimal for competitive gaming due to lower refresh rates and may not satisfy users looking for high-speed gaming performance. Give Feedback

Simon Baker | May 2021
"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."
