If you prioritize a deep contrast for an immersive experience in HDR gaming and media consumption, the Gigabyte FO32U2 with its OLED technology excels here and is also good for digital and print photo editing due to its color accuracy. However, if you need an ultra-wide screen for an expansive field of view in games or for multitasking in productivity, the Samsung S49AG95 Odyssey Neo G9 might be your pick, though it's not as suitable for HDR media. Both are at a premium price point, but the Gigabyte could save you money and still deliver outstanding brightness and contrast for various tasks. Give Feedback
