If you are focused on competitive gaming, the Gigabyte FO32U2 with its higher refresh rate and variable refresh rate support offers smoother gameplay, but it may have some ghosting issues. On the other hand, the LG 32EP950, while more expensive and not tailored for competitive gaming due to its poorer refresh rate, provides excellent color accuracy and is great for tasks like HDR video editing and print photo editing. If HDR gaming and media consumption are important to you, both monitors perform well, but keep in mind the Gigabyte has a superior brightness, which can enhance HDR experience. Give Feedback
