If you prioritize a wider, immersive display for gaming and media, and your budget allows for it, the Asus PG34WCDM with its larger screen and very high refresh rate excels, particularly for competitive gaming due to responsiveness. However, for those seeking top-notch color accuracy for tasks like photo editing, while saving money, the Gigabyte FO27Q3 delivers with great color performance and a high refresh rate, making it great for both competitive gaming and media consumption. The Asus' ultrawide screen is less optimal for productivity compared to the Gigabyte's more standard aspect ratio, which often suits work-related tasks better. Give Feedback
