The LG 32GP850 is suitable for users looking for a good gaming experience, thanks to its higher refresh rate and variable refresh rate (VRR) support, which reduces screen tearing. It's decent for photo editing with a high sRGB coverage but isn't ideal for HDR gaming or video editing due to its lower HDR peak brightness. On the other hand, the LG 34WQ73A has a larger, ultra-wide screen which can enhance productivity and immersion in movies, but its lower refresh rate and lack of advanced gaming features like VRR make it less optimal for competitive gaming. It also has excellent USB connectivity, which might appeal to professionals looking for a versatile workspace. If budget is a concern, the 32GP850 is the less expensive option while still offering solid gaming and photo editing performance. Give Feedback
