If you prioritize a high contrast ratio and HDR content for an immersive gaming and media experience, the Corsair 45WQHD240 with its superior OLED technology is an excellent option despite its higher cost. However, for a balance between price and performance, especially if you're into digital photo editing or competitive gaming, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X offers great color accuracy and a high refresh rate at a more affordable price. The Corsair's OLED panel may not be as suitable for productivity due to possible burn-in risks with static images, whereas the Gigabyte's IPS panel has better text clarity, making it more versatile for everyday tasks.
