If you prioritize top-notch visual quality and are interested in HDR gaming or media, the Gigabyte FO32U2 with its superior contrast and color volume offers an exceptional experience, though it comes at a premium price. However, if you're looking for a balance between gaming performance and productivity without breaking the bank, the LG 32GP850 provides good performance and high refresh rates suitable for casual and competitive gaming. The LG monitor doesn't excel in HDR content like the Gigabyte does, but it's more wallet-friendly for everyday use and non-HDR tasks. Give Feedback
