If budget constraints are a priority and you want a monitor that excels in casual gaming with a solid competitive gaming experience, the AOC AG276QZD could be a great choice, though it won't perform as well for productivity tasks or media consumption. On the other hand, the Gigabyte FO32U2, while more expensive, offers a superior media consumption experience with its larger screen and higher resolution, making it also better suited for productivity and high-quality HDR gaming. It provides a top-tier gaming experience too but consider that the higher resolution could be more demanding on your gaming setup. Give Feedback
