If you're a competitive gamer looking for smooth gameplay and higher refresh rates, the Gigabyte FI32Q-X would be a great choice due to its high refresh rate and response time. However, the LG DualUp would be better for productivity tasks, given its unique aspect ratio and large vertical screen real estate, which is great for multitasking or coding. The LG falls short for gaming with its lower refresh rate, but its screen clarity and color depth make it suitable for digital photo editing. The Gigabyte, although not ideal for HDR gaming, offers a very good competitive gaming experience at a lower price point. Give Feedback
