If you're a competitive gamer looking for smooth gameplay, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X with its higher refresh rate will serve you well at a lower cost, but its peak brightness and contrast may not be ideal for HDR gaming and media. On the other hand, the Innocn 27M2V offers superior image clarity, higher screen resolution, and better HDR performance, making it suitable for HDR gaming, media consumption, as well as digital and print photo editing, but it comes at a higher price. For productivity and detailed work, the Innocn's higher pixels per inch and MiniLED technology provide clearer and more precise visuals. Give Feedback

Display Ninja
Rob Shafer | January 2024
"Thanks to the wide color gamut, games and videos will look even more vibrant than the standard wide gamut displays (such as LG’s Nano IPS with 98% DCI-P3 and ~90% Adobe RGB, for instance), especially when it comes to blue, cyan and green shades. All in all, if you want a 27″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with a mini LED FALD backlight, the Innocn 27M2V is currently the best model available."
