If you're a competitive gamer looking for a high refresh rate and rapid response time, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X would provide a smooth and responsive experience, but it's less suited for HDR gaming and media. For general productivity, casual gaming, and media viewing at a higher resolution, the LG 32UN650 offers a 4K display and better contrast which improves image depth and realism. However, it has a lower refresh rate and response time, making it less ideal for fast-paced games. Choosing the LG can save you money, but if competitive gaming performance is a priority, investing in the Gigabyte could be worthwhile. Give Feedback
