If you're focused on high-quality images for HDR gaming and media consumption, the LG 32EP950 could be a worthwhile investment despite its higher cost. It excels in color accuracy and depth, making it ideal for print photo editing and consuming HDR content. However, its refresh rate and response time aren't as suited for competitive gaming. On the other hand, if you're looking for a wide, immersive display for multitasking or a more responsive monitor for competitive gaming, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 may suit you better with its larger screen and superior refresh rate, though its HDR performance isn't as strong as the LG's.

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."
