If you're on a budget and mostly into casual gaming, the Gigabyte G24F-2 offers a solid experience without breaking the bank. However, the Gigabyte M34WQ provides a larger, higher resolution screen which is better for productivity and media consumption. For competitive gaming, both have decent refresh rates, but the larger screen might give an edge in immersive gameplay at the cost of a higher price. If photo editing is a priority, the G24F-2 has higher sRGB coverage, which is important for color accuracy. Neither model is optimal for HDR gaming or video editing due to their limited peak brightness and color gamut. Give Feedback

Display Ninja
Rob Shafer | November 2023
"If you want a 34″ 3440×1440 ultrawide gaming monitor with a fast response time speed, smooth VRR performance, vibrant colors and crisp details, the Gigabyte M34WQ is one of the best options below $450. Additionally, it has an ergonomic stand, rich connectivity options and plenty of extra features, such as a built-in KVM switch. Some users might not be pleased by its flat screen, but at a certain viewing distance, it feels completely natural."
