If you value high contrast and color performance for HDR gaming and media consumption, and you are prepared to invest more, the Gigabyte FO32U2P with OLED technology will deliver superior image quality. However, if your priority is a mix of productivity and media consumption with a need for good text quality and image clarity at a more budget-friendly price, then the LG 32UN650 and its IPS panel would be a suitable choice. Keep in mind that the Gigabyte model will excel in fast-paced games due to a better refresh rate and response time but at a higher cost. Give Feedback
