If you prioritize competitive gaming and require a high refresh rate for smooth gameplay, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X is a strong option, particularly considering its lower price. However, if you're more focused on productivity, digital photo editing, and high-quality media consumption, the Innocn 32M2V with its higher resolution and better HDR capabilities would be more suitable, despite the higher cost. The Innocn also offers superior color depth and overall image quality, which is essential for print photo editing. Keep in mind though, for fast-paced gaming, its lower refresh rate may not be as responsive as the Gigabyte monitor. Give Feedback
