If you're looking for exceptional image quality for tasks like print photo editing or HDR gaming and media consumption, the LG 32EP950 (Inkjet OLED) with its superior contrast and color depth will provide a stunning experience. This monitor, while more expensive, is particularly suited for users who prioritize high-end visual performance and have a budget to match. However, for general productivity and digital photo editing, the LG DualUp 28MQ780 (IPS) offers a unique aspect ratio and excellent color accuracy at a more affordable price. It excels in multitasking and could be a better value if your primary focus isn't on the highest possible image quality. 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."
