If you prioritize a wider screen and better overall image quality, especially for HDR gaming and media consumption, the LG 45GR95QE-B with its OLED panel is a great choice but comes at a premium price. However, if budget is a concern and you are primarily focused on competitive gaming with a very high refresh rate, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X, despite its lower HDR capabilities, may suit your needs while saving you money. Neither monitor is particularly well-suited for productivity due to their lower text and image clarity, but if productive tasks are a secondary concern, this might be an acceptable compromise.
