If you prioritize a sharper image and more detailed work or media, the LG 32GQ950 with its higher resolution would suit you better. For immersive experiences in gaming and movies with a wider view, the LG 34GP83A may be appealing due to its ultra-wide screen. However, the 34GP83A won't be as sharp for detailed tasks as the 32GQ950. If cost is a significant factor, the 34GP83A offers a good balance between price and performance, but if you're looking for top-notch clarity and willing to invest more, the 32GQ950 is the superior choice. Neither is ideal for true HDR gaming and media, so choose based on your preference for image detail or screen width and budget considerations. Give Feedback
