However, if you want a larger screen and are focused on productivity, casual gaming, and media consumption without the need for high refresh rates or the best HDR features, and prefer to save money, then the Samsung S43CG70 (VA Mini LED) might suit your needs better. Keep in mind that for competitive gaming or scenarios where high refresh rates and low response times are crucial, the Gigabyte would be the better option. Give Feedback
