If you're on a tight budget and primarily interested in casual gaming with decent color accuracy for digital photo editing, the Gigabyte monitor is a cost-effective choice. However, if you're willing to invest more for an immersive experience with outstanding contrast, brightness, and color accuracy that excels in both HDR gaming and HDR video editing, the MSI monitor offers superior performance. With its wider screen and higher resolution, the MSI is also better suited for productivity and media consumption. Keep in mind, the Gigabyte may be more responsive for competitive gaming due to its lower total response time. Give Feedback
