If you're on a tighter budget and mainly interested in digital photo editing with accurate colors within the sRGB spectrum, the LG 32GP850 with its IPS panel is a solid choice. However, if you're willing to invest more for an immersive gaming and media consumption experience with a wider aspect ratio, infinite contrast, and deeper blacks thanks to its W-OLED technology, the LG 39GS95QE would be a better fit, though it may not offer the best value for productivity due to its curvature and ultra-wide screen. Keep in mind that the OLED monitor would generally excel in HDR content. Give Feedback
