If image quality and performance in darker environments are priorities, the Gigabyte FO27Q3 with its OLED technology provides deeper blacks and better contrast, which enhances HDR gaming and media consumption. However, if you're looking to save money and need a monitor primarily for productivity with reasonable gaming capabilities, the LG 27GP83B offers good text clarity and color accuracy for a lower price. The Gigabyte monitor excels in competitive gaming due to its higher refresh capabilities but will cost more, whereas the LG is more budget-friendly but may not deliver the same level of gaming performance.
