If you prioritize print photo editing and desire a traditional 16:9 aspect ratio, the LG 32EP950 with its excellent color reproduction is an outstanding choice, though at a higher cost. Conversely, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 is better suited for gamers seeking a wide 21:9 aspect ratio, higher refresh rate with variable refresh rate support to reduce screen tearing, and quicker response times, all of which can enhance the gaming experience. For digital photo editing and HDR video consumption, the Samsung still offers vibrant colors and performs well. Keep in mind the Samsung's curved screen can also provide an immersive experience if that's a preference. Both monitors excel in color depth and contrast due to their OLED panels which greatly benefit HDR gaming and media consumption. 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."
