If you're seeking a monitor that offers a sharp and detailed image for HDR gaming and media consumption, the LG 32GS95UE with its higher pixels per inch could be the right choice, especially if you also do print photo editing. However, if you prefer a wider and more immersive screen for productivity and a more cinematic gaming experience, the larger LG 45GS95QE might be worth the extra cost. Keep in mind that text and image clarity won't be as sharp on the 45GS95QE due to its lower pixels per inch, which could be a downside for detailed work like digital photo editing. Give Feedback
