Our Verdict

LG 27GR93U-B

LG 32GR93U-B

The LG 32GR93U-B and the LG 27GR93U-B are similar mid-range monitors, with one of the main differences being their sizes. There are still some differences in performance, though, as the 32-inch model has better motion handling, and it also has better HDR color volume for more vivid colors. Another difference is that the 27-inch model has improved brightness.
