If you prioritize image quality and are a professional working with color-sensitive tasks like photo editing, the LG 32EP950 (Inkjet OLED) offers superior contrast and color depth. Despite its premium price, it's excellent for HDR gaming and media consumption, but keep in mind its refresh rate is lower, which isn't ideal for competitive gaming. On the other hand, if you're looking for a balance between work and play without breaking the bank, the LG 38WN95C (IPS) has a larger screen and a higher refresh rate, which benefits productivity and casual gaming, although it may not match the OLED's peak brightness and perfect contrast.

TFT Central
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."
