If you're looking for exceptional contrast and are engaged in tasks where color accuracy is paramount, like print photo editing, the LG 32GS95UE with its OLED technology offers deep blacks and true-to-life colors. Gamers, particularly those into casual gaming with a keen eye for fluid motion, will appreciate the LG's superior refresh rate. However, the ViewSonic XG321UG, while more expensive, brings Mini LED benefits, such as high brightness levels that enhance visibility in well-lit rooms and better HDR video performance. But if competitive gaming is your focus, the LG’s faster response time could give you an edge. For general productivity and media consumption, the choice between the two will generally rest on whether you value the LG's contrast or the ViewSonic's brightness and HDR capabilities more.
