If you prioritize a high-quality image for professional photo and video editing, especially with accurate colors and excellent brightness, the Asus PA32UCG-K could be a worthy investment, despite its higher price. Its superior HDR capabilities make it well-suited for HDR gaming and media consumption. On the other hand, if your focus is on competitive gaming and you're looking for a monitor that offers a faster refresh rate and good performance at a lower price, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X would be the more economical choice, though it won't perform as well in professional color-critical tasks or HDR content.

Mark Pickavance | May 2021
"Combining features that designers and content makers need, the Asus ProArt PA32UCG-K Display represents the true cost of accurate colour. It’s expensive, heavy and has weird OSD controls, but the screen is glorious when working with HDR video or game graphics."
