If your primary focus is on competitive gaming on a budget, the Gigabyte monitor is a solid choice with its higher refresh rate, offering smoother gameplay, but its smaller size and lower resolution might not be ideal for immersive media consumption or detailed productivity tasks. On the other hand, the LG monitor offers a larger screen and higher resolution, which are great for productivity and media enjoyment, but its lower refresh rate could be less optimal for fast-paced gaming. Its better color reproduction also makes it more suitable for tasks requiring color accuracy like photo editing. Give Feedback
