If you prioritize a sharp, clear image for productivity or photo editing and want to save money, the LG 32GQ950 with its larger screen resolution and high color accuracy is a good choice. However, if you prefer an immersive gaming and media consumption experience with deeper blacks and better contrast, and are willing to spend more, the LG 45GS95QE with its OLED technology is suitable. The 45GS95QE also offers a wider screen that's great for a cinematic feel but may not match the text clarity and pixel density of the 32GQ950 for detailed work. The choice depends on whether you value immersive visual quality for gaming and media over detailed clarity for productivity and photo editing. Give Feedback
