If competitive gaming is a priority, the Asus PG32UCDM with its impeccable response time and refresh rate makes for a superior choice. However, the Gigabyte FO32U2 outshines in high dynamic range (HDR) media consumption and video editing due to its higher peak brightness, and is also suitable for print photo editing. Both have excellent color performance but the Asus lags behind in brightness. For general productivity, both monitors will serve well with slight advantages to the Asus for gaming and to the Gigabyte for media-related tasks. If budget constraints are less of a concern, Asus is primed for gaming, while Gigabyte offers a better HDR experience for less cost. Give Feedback
