If you prioritize a wider screen with an ultrawide aspect ratio for immersive gaming and multitasking, the Asus monitor, being somewhat more expensive, would suit your needs. However, if you prefer a sharper image with higher resolution ideal for media consumption and productivity, the Gigabyte with its standard aspect ratio might be a better fit. For serious gaming, both offer excellent refresh rates; the Asus has an edge in competitive gaming due to less ghosting. Note that the Asus might not be as good for HDR video editing or color-critical work, which the Gigabyte handles well with its color accuracy and performance in HDR. Give Feedback
