If you prioritize top-notch image quality and performance for HDR gaming and media consumption, the Gigabyte FO32U2P with its OLED technology would deliver exceptional contrast and color. This makes it excellent for immersive experiences but comes at a premium price. On the other hand, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option and mostly engage in casual gaming, productivity tasks, and non-HDR media consumption, the KTC H27T22 is a solid choice. Its image quality is good for its price point, though it won't match the vibrancy and deep blacks of the Gigabyte's OLED panel. Choose the Gigabyte for the ultimate visual experience, or opt for the KTC if you prefer to save money and still have a good all-around monitor. Give Feedback
