If competitive gaming is a priority and you're looking for a responsive monitor with a high refresh rate at a more affordable price, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X could suit your needs well. However, if you're willing to invest more for a wider, more immersive screen with superior contrast and color depth for HDR gaming and media, then the LG 39GS95QE may be the better option. Keep in mind, while the LG has a curve and an OLED panel that offers deep blacks and vibrant colors for multimedia use, the Gigabyte might be more favorable for tasks requiring consistent color accuracy, such as digital photo editing.
