If you're on a budget and mostly engage in casual gaming, the Gigabyte G24F-2 with its smaller screen and lower resolution might suffice, and it performs well in competitive gaming due to its good response time and refresh rate. However, if you're looking for a larger screen with better image quality for a more immersive gaming and productivity experience, the Gigabyte M32Q offers a higher resolution and larger screen size, but at an upper midrange price. It also has a wide color gamut making it suitable for digital photo editing, although it might not be best for tasks requiring peak HDR performance. Keep in mind that the Gigabyte M32Q's better specs will come at a higher cost. Give Feedback
