If you prioritize a wider screen for immersive gaming and movies, the AOC AG456UCZD with its ultrawide aspect ratio could be the better choice. However, if you're looking for better image clarity, higher resolution, and a monitor that excels in HDR content, the Gigabyte FO32U2 provides superior performance and could be more cost-effective. For competitive gaming, both have high refresh rates; however, the Gigabyte's higher pixels per inch may offer sharper text for productivity. The AOC's poor text quality could be a drawback for extensive reading or detail-oriented work. Choose the Gigabyte for a more versatile monitor that balances gaming, media consumption, and productivity at a lower price. Give Feedback
