If you're on a tighter budget and prioritize a solid gaming experience, the LG 32GP850 is a good choice, as it offers a high refresh rate and variable refresh rate support with less impact on your wallet. However, the larger, wider LG 34GP83A improves immersion for gaming and multitasking, with a broader screen that's better for productivity due to its ultrawide aspect ratio. Both perform similarly in color accuracy for digital photo editing, but for HDR gaming and media, neither is ideal. If casual gaming and general use are your focus, go for the 32GP850; for an expansive display that benefits multitasking and gaming immersion, the 34GP83A is better, but it comes at a higher cost.
