If your priority is competitive gaming on a budget, the Gigabyte G24F-2 offers a high refresh rate and good response time for fast-paced games and is less expensive. Its smaller size and resolution may not be ideal for immersive experiences or multitasking. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest more for an immersive gaming experience, enhanced media consumption, and productivity due to its larger, wider screen and higher resolution, the LG 34GP83A would be a better choice, although it has a slightly lower refresh rate than the Gigabyte, which might be less optimal for competitive gaming. Neither monitor is the best option for professional photo or video editing due to the limited color accuracy and HDR capabilities. Give Feedback
