If you prioritize high-quality imagery for HDR gaming and media consumption or if you’re into print photo editing, the LG 32EP950 with its superior color depth and contrast is a strong choice despite its higher cost. On the other hand, if fast-paced competitive gaming is your focus, and you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, the ViewSonic XG2431’s higher refresh rate and lower response time would serve you better, but you'd compromise on screen resolution and image quality compared to the LG. For general productivity and casual gaming, either would suffice, though the ViewSonic offers better value for money. Give Feedback

"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."
