Our Verdict
Samsung UE590
LG 32QN55T-B
The LG 32QN55T-B is much better than the Samsung UE590 for most users. The LG has much better viewing angles, so the image remains accurate at the sides and if you're sharing your screen with someone else. The LG also has better accuracy out of the box, supports HDR, and has a flicker-free backlight. On the other hand, the Samsung monitor has a much higher pixel density, resulting in sharper images and much better text clarity.
