For clear image quality and deep blacks, especially in darker viewing environments, the ViewSonic VX2776 2K OLED is excellent for HDR gaming and media consumption, with its high contrast and color gamut suited for digital photo editing and print photo editing. However, it comes at a premium price. The LG 32UN650, being more affordable, offers a larger screen and higher resolution, which is great for productivity and enjoying 4K content, but its performance in competitive gaming and HDR is not as strong. If budget is a concern and you mainly do productivity tasks, the LG might be the better choice. If you prioritize gaming and media with superior visuals and are willing to invest more, the ViewSonic could be preferred. Give Feedback
