If you're a serious gamer looking for smooth motion and high refresh rate, the Gigabyte FO32U2P with its very good refresh rate could be for you, but it may not provide the sharpest text quality for productivity tasks. The LG 27EP950, despite its higher cost, offers excellent image clarity and is suitable for professional photo editing; however, its refresh rate isn't ideal for competitive gaming. The Gigabyte's larger screen also enhances media consumption and gaming immersion, but if color-critical work is a priority, LG's strong performance in digital photo editing could be more attractive. Choose based on what's more important to you: gaming performance and value with the Gigabyte, or professional-grade color accuracy and image clarity with the LG. Give Feedback
