If you're looking for top-notch image quality and performance for HDR gaming and media consumption, and are willing to invest in a premium-priced monitor, the Gigabyte FO32U2 with its QD-OLED technology, exceptional contrast, and wide color gamut support offers a superior visual experience. However, if budget is a concern and you require a monitor that's more versatile for everyday tasks including productivity and casual gaming, the LG 34GP83A, with its wider aspect ratio and lower price, offers a good balance of features for its cost, although it may not match the Gigabyte's peak performance in color accuracy or HDR content.
