If gaming, particularly competitive gaming, is your priority and you're looking to save some money, the Gigabyte FO27Q3 (QD-OLED) is the stronger choice with its higher refresh rate and excellent response time minimizing ghosting, alongside a solid HDR experience. However, the LG 39GS95QE (W-OLED) offers a larger, ultra-wide screen which can enhance productivity and immersion in media consumption, albeit at a premium price and with a lower refresh rate that is less optimized for competitive gaming. Both monitors have OLED technology, promising deep blacks and high contrast, but the Gigabyte's smaller size and lower price make it more suited for gaming-focused users. Give Feedback
