Our Verdict
LG 32GQ950-B
LG 32GR93U-B
The LG 32GQ950-B is a higher-end monitor than the LG 32GR93U-B, but both monitors perform similarly. The main difference is that the 32GQ950-B has an overclock feature to boost its refresh rate up to 160Hz, but it doesn't work on all devices. The 32GQ950-B also has a local dimming feature, which the 32GR93U-B doesn't have, and while it helps improve the HDR brightness, it performs terribly overall.
