If fast-paced gaming is a priority, the LG 32GQ850 excels with its higher refresh rate, providing smoother motion and better support for varying frame rates. It's also better for tasks requiring accurate colors, such as digital photo editing. However, if you prefer a more immersive experience with a wider field of view for gaming and productivity, and don't mind sacrificing some refresh rate, the LG 34GP83A with its ultrawide screen might be more appealing. Remember, neither monitor is the best for HDR gaming and media consumption. The 32GQ850 is generally pricier so weigh the benefits against the cost. Give Feedback
