If your focus is on competitive gaming and staying within a budget, the Gigabyte G24F-2 (IPS) offers a good refresh rate and response time, which are crucial for fast-paced games. However, it falls short for media consumption and digital photo editing due to its limited screen resolution and color coverage. On the other hand, the LG 32EP950 (Inkjet OLED) provides exceptional color accuracy and a larger, higher resolution screen, ideal for HDR gaming, media consumption, and digital photo editing. It's a premium-priced monitor, hence more expensive, and its refresh rate isn't suited for competitive gaming. Choose the Gigabyte for affordability and competitive gaming, or the LG for high-end visual tasks and media enjoyment. Give Feedback
