The LG 32GS95UE offers a larger screen with higher resolution, deeper blacks, and wide color gamut, making it excellent for HDR gaming and media consumption, as well as print photo editing. However, it is significantly pricier and may not be as suitable for competitive gaming due to potential ghosting issues. On the other hand, the ViewSonic XG2431 is more budget-friendly and performs exceptionally well in competitive gaming with its high refresh rate and low response time, but its smaller screen and lower resolution might not deliver the same level of immersion for media consumption or detail for photo editing. If budget is a concern and your focus is competitive gaming, the ViewSonic could be a better fit, but if you prioritize visual quality and immersion for media and are willing to invest more, the LG might be the way to go.
