If competitive gaming is your main focus and you're looking for a larger monitor, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X with its high refresh rate and good response time at a lower price point is a strong option. However, for a premium viewing experience with excellent contrast and HDR gaming, the LG 27GS95QE's OLED technology provides superior image quality, especially in dark scenes, but this comes at a higher cost. The LG's smaller screen might also be a drawback if screen size is a priority for you. Neither are ideal for serious color work, but the Gigabyte has somewhat better coverage for photo editing. Choose the Gigabyte if price and size matter most, or the LG if you want the best visual quality for gaming and media consumption. Give Feedback
