If price is a significant concern and you're looking for a more affordable option with excellent gaming performance, the Gigabyte FO27Q3 would be a solid choice. This monitor offers exceptional responsiveness ideal for competitive gaming. However, its smaller size and lower resolution may not be as conducive for immersive media consumption or multitasking as the LG. On the other hand, if you are willing to invest more for a larger, ultrawide display that enhances multitasking and media experiences, the LG 45GS95QE would fit those needs better. Its broader screen real estate is advantageous for productivity, though it may not match the gaming performance of the Gigabyte. Both are well-suited for HDR content, but keep in mind the LG's brightness is less optimal compared to the Gigabyte. Give Feedback
