If budget is a concern and you mainly focus on competitive gaming, the LG 32GQ850 with its high refresh rate and quick response time would be a good fit. However, if you’re open to a higher investment for a premium watching experience and more vibrant colors, particularly for HDR gaming and media consumption, the LG 32GS95UE with superior contrast and color depth is the better choice. It's also better suited for print photo editing. Keep in mind, though, that if image clarity for detailed work or text quality for reading and productivity is your priority, neither of these might be the best option. Give Feedback
