If you prioritize exceptional image quality for HDR gaming and media consumption and don't mind the higher cost, the Gigabyte FO32U2P with its QD-OLED panel provides vibrant colors, deep blacks, and excellent contrast. It also offers great performance for competitive gaming due to its high refresh rate. However, it's less well-suited for casual gaming and productivity tasks where the LG 32GP850, with its IPS panel, would provide adequate performance at a lower price. The LG monitor also offers good color accuracy for productivity and digital photo editing, making it a solid option for those uses on a budget. Give Feedback
