If you're on a tighter budget and need a larger screen, the LG 32UN650 with its ample display size could serve well for general productivity and casual gaming, but it falls short in HDR gaming and media consumption due to its lower brightness and color performance. On the other hand, if high-quality visuals are important to you and you're willing to invest more, the Nubia RedMagic GM001J offers superior color accuracy, better HDR performance, and higher brightness, making it a strong choice for both HDR gaming and professional media work. However, it has a smaller screen size, which may not be ideal if you prefer a larger viewing area for multitasking. Give Feedback
