Our Verdict
LG 32UD59-B
LG 27UK650-W
These two monitors have different panel types, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The LG 32UD59-B is larger and has a VA panel with a higher contrast ratio that delivers deep blacks in a dark room. The LG 27UK650-W has an IPS panel with wider viewing angles, which is great for sharing your work. It has better ergonomics, so you can position it comfortably with ease, and it supports HDR.
