If you are on a tighter budget and are looking for good value, the LG 32GP850 will satisfy casual gaming needs and is suitable for digital photo editing with a fair level of clarity and color accuracy. However, if you're willing to spend more for a competitive gaming edge, the LG 32GQ850 offers a very good refresh rate and low response time, which is important for fast-paced games, though it might not offer significant advantages for productivity or media consumption. Neither monitor is the best option for HDR gaming and media, so if that's a priority, you may want to consider other models. Give Feedback
