Considering budget and use cases, the LG 32GP850 (IPS) is a better choice for casual and competitive gaming due to its higher refresh rate and support for variable refresh rate, reducing screen tearing and providing smoother gameplay. However, its lower peak brightness and contrast may not provide the best HDR gaming or media consumption experience. The LG DualUp 28MQ780 (IPS) has a unique screen aspect ratio better suited for productivity with its ability to display more vertical content, but it lacks in gaming performance with a lower refresh rate and no variable refresh rate support. Its superior vertical resolution offers sharper text and image clarity, making it a good choice for digital photo editing, but not as suitable for HDR video editing or print photo editing. If gaming is a priority and budget is a concern, the 32GP850 is a better fit, while the DualUp is tailored more towards productivity and multitasking. Give Feedback
