If you prioritize impeccable contrast and color accuracy for tasks like photo editing, and are prepared to invest more, the Asus PA32DC (Inkjet OLED) excels with its OLED panel. However, for versatile use including casual and competitive gaming, productivity, and media consumption, the Gigabyte M32UC (VA) offers very good performance and a high refresh rate which is quite beneficial for gaming, all at a lower price point. The Gigabyte lacks OLED's top-tier color capabilities, but is a well-rounded choice for various uses if you're looking to save money. Give Feedback
