If cost isn't an issue and you're looking for an immersive gaming and media experience, the AOC PD49 with its larger, ultrawide screen and superior contrast and color could be a great choice. However, it won't perform as well in productivity due to its size and aspect ratio. On the other hand, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X is a more affordable alternative, offering good performance for competitive gaming with its high refresh rate. Its more traditional aspect ratio makes it better suited for productivity tasks, but it falls short in HDR gaming and media consumption compared to the AOC PD49. Give Feedback
