If you prioritize high resolution and color accuracy for tasks like digital photo editing, the Dell U2723QE with its 4K resolution and strong color gamut coverage would be a fitting choice. However, if you're more focused on gaming, especially competitive gaming, and can compromise on resolution, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X with its higher refresh rate and responsive performance would serve you better. The Dell is superior for productivity with its larger, clearer text and image clarity, while the Gigabyte is designed for a high-performance gaming experience but falls short in productivity and media consumption compared to the Dell.
