If price is a major concern and you're involved in tasks like digital photo editing or casual gaming, the LG 32GP850 (IPS) can be a solid choice with its good response time and adjustability for a comfortable setup. However, if you're a competitive gamer or enjoy the best possible HDR gaming and media consumption with deeper blacks and higher contrast, and don't mind spending more, the LG 45GS95QE (W-OLED) provides a superior experience with its OLED panel, albeit with a potentially higher risk of burn-in due to the OLED technology. The larger screen and the ultrawide aspect ratio also make it immersive for gaming and multimedia, but the curve and size might not suit everyone's productivity needs. Give Feedback
