If immersive gaming and multitasking are your priorities, the AOC PD49 with its larger, wider screen will enhance those experiences, but its high price and less sharp text may not suit budget-conscious users or those focused on reading and office work. The Gigabyte FO32U2 offers a more traditional aspect ratio and better image clarity at a lower price, making it a better option for general use and content creation, though its smaller size might be less captivating for gaming and watching movies.
