If you're looking for an immersive media experience and engaging in HDR gaming, the Gigabyte FO32U2 with its OLED technology offers superior contrast and color depth. It's less expensive and very suitable for digital photo editing. However, for competitive gaming, the lower response time and higher refresh range might not provide the best experience, and text quality is just fair, which could impact productivity tasks. On the other hand, the ViewSonic XG341C-2K offers a wider screen with an aspect ratio that enhances productivity by providing more screen real estate, and it's better for print photo editing, but it's significantly more costly and not as well-suited for HDR gaming or media consumption due to lower performance in those areas.
