Our Verdict

LG 32UL950-W

LG 40WP95C-W

The LG 32UL950-W and the LG 40WP95C-W both target media creators, but they're different. The 40WP95C-W has a larger, higher-resolution screen, meaning you can see more of your workflow at once, and it has much better accuracy out of the box. Finally, the 40WP95C-W has slightly better connectivity, with higher bandwidth Thunderbolt 4 support and two easy-to-access USB ports, so you can quickly connect peripherals like your mouse or a drawing tablet.
