If you prioritize a more immersive experience for competitive gaming, the LG 34GS95QE (W-OLED) with its wider screen and exceptional contrast might be the better option, but it comes at a premium price. On the other hand, the LG 32GQ850 (IPS) offers a larger color gamut for tasks like digital photo editing at a lower price point, yet it may not provide the same level of clarity and contrast for HDR gaming and media as the OLED model. If budget is a concern and you need a versatile monitor for both productivity and casual gaming, the LG 32GQ850 (IPS) could serve well. Give Feedback
