If you prioritize a superior gaming experience with vibrant colors and deep blacks, the Gigabyte FO32U2 with its OLED panel is a solid choice, especially for HDR gaming and media consumption. It's less expensive and offers a better contrast, which can greatly enhance visual enjoyment. However, this might come at the expense of text clarity and it may not be the best for competitive gaming due to potential ghosting. On the other hand, the ViewSonic XG321UG, while more expensive, could offer better productivity features, with its better image clarity and a higher number of USB ports, but its overall media experience may not match the Gigabyte's due to its lower contrast and color performance. Consider how important HDR content and budget are to your decision. Give Feedback
