If you prioritize a great gaming experience with higher refresh rates and enjoy HDR gaming and media, the LG 32GS95UE with its OLED panel offers deep blacks and vibrant colors, making it a strong choice despite its higher price. However, if productive work is a core activity and you prefer a larger, ultrawide screen which might benefit multitasking, then the LG 38WN95C may be more suitable. Keep in mind that the LG 38WN95C, while less costly and offering a larger screen, doesn't match the superior contrast and response time of the OLED model, which matters for fast-paced gaming and high-quality HDR content.
