If you prioritize competitive gaming with faster refresh rates and responsive gameplay, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X would be a better fit, despite its higher price. However, if you value a wider screen for multitasking and a more immersive experience in productivity or casual gaming, the LG 34WQ73A offers an ultrawide format which can be more enjoyable, and it typically costs less. The LG's color depth is superior, which is particularly relevant for tasks involving precise color work, whereas the Gigabyte's higher brightness and contrast would be more beneficial for general media consumption in brighter environments. Both have good color accuracy for digital photo editing, but the Gigabyte's higher refresh rate and response time make it stand out for fast-paced gaming. Give Feedback
