I'm looking to buy a new monitor and I'm having trouble deciding between the LG 32UN880-B and 32UL950-W. Can anyone help me choose which one is better for gaming? I've heard that both of them have good resolution, but I'm not sure about their refresh rates or response times.

I've been using a 32UN880-B for some time now, and it's great! The color accuracy is fantastic, and the resolution is amazing. However, if you're looking for a smoother gaming experience, you might want to consider the 32UL950-W since it has a higher refresh rate.
Thanks for the input, but I'm still not sure about the response times of these monitors. Can anyone compare their response times?
@DominousNolen Both the LG 32UN880-B and 32UL950-W have an excellent resolution of 3840 x 2160 and IPS display panel types. However, when it comes to gaming, one key factor is refresh rate. A higher refresh rate provides a smoother gaming experience. The article LG 32" 32UN880-B vs. LG 32" 32UL950-W discusses this in detail, so you may find it helpful for your decision.
Thanks for the information, @nickcicero. Based on what you said and what I've read about the response times of both monitors, I think I'll go with the 32UL950-W. It seems to offer a better overall gaming experience.
@DominousNolen Great choice! The 32UL950-W is an excellent monitor for gaming. Just remember that you'll need a good graphics card to fully enjoy its high refresh rate capabilities.
I've heard that higher refresh rates can help reduce input lag. Is that true, and if so, how much of an impact does it have on the gaming experience?
@samallenrows Yes, higher refresh rates can help reduce input lag, but it also depends on other factors like the monitor's response time and the performance of your graphics card. The impact on the gaming experience can vary from person to person, so it's essential to consider your specific needs and budget when choosing a monitor.
That makes sense. Thanks for all the advice, everyone! I'll definitely check out the TechReviewer article LG 32" 32UN880-B vs. LG 32" 32UL950-W to learn more about gaming monitors before making my final decision.
