Choosing between the LG 32GQ950 and the LG 34GS95QE depends on your priorities. If you prefer sharper images and are focused on tasks like digital photo editing, the LG 32GQ950 with its larger screen and higher resolution might be better for you. On the other hand, the LG 34GS95QE offers exceptional contrast and color depth due to its OLED panel, making it excellent for HDR gaming and media consumption. However, keep in mind that the 34GS95QE may not perform as well for productivity due to its lower brightness and the curve, which can distort straight lines commonly used in graphic design and spreadsheets. If competitive gaming is on your radar, the 34GS95QE's higher refresh rate offers smoother gameplay, whereas the 32GQ950 still provides a good experience but with less motion clarity. Give Feedback
