If you're a competitive gamer looking for the best gaming performance, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X offers a higher refresh rate, which means smoother motion and better responsiveness in fast-paced games. However, for a lower price, the LG 27GP83B still offers a good gaming experience with a slightly lower refresh rate that most casual gamers would find adequate. For productivity and media consumption, both monitors offer similar screen resolutions, but the larger screen size of the Gigabyte might be preferable for multitasking and immersive movie watching, albeit at a higher cost. Neither monitor excels in HDR gaming and media consumption. If digital photo editing is important, both are suitable, but the Gigabyte has a slight edge with better color coverage. Give Feedback
