If you prioritize high-end gaming and media experiences and are okay with a higher price, the Gigabyte FO32U2P with its superior contrast and color performance can elevate both HDR gaming and video editing. However, if competitive gaming is important to you and you're looking for better value, the LG 27GP83B offers a great balance at a lower cost, with good color accuracy and very good responsiveness for fast-paced games, though it won't match the Gigabyte in image clarity and peak brightness for HDR content. The Gigabyte's larger screen and higher resolution also make it more suitable for productivity and immersive media consumption. Give Feedback
