If competitive gaming is a priority and you're looking for high refresh rates with faster response times at a lower cost, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X (IPS) is a great choice. On the other hand, if you prefer stunning visuals for HDR gaming and media consumption, and digital photo editing, and are willing to invest more, the Innocn 32Q1U (W-OLED) with its higher resolution, infinite contrast ratio, and more natural color representation could be worth the premium price, despite its lower refresh rate which is not ideal for fast-paced gaming.
