If budget is a concern and you enjoy casual or competitive gaming on a larger screen, the Gigabyte M32Q offers a good experience with a higher refresh rate and variable refresh rate support for smooth gameplay. However, if you're looking for superior visual quality for media consumption and HDR gaming, and also do digital or print photo editing, the Innocn 27M2V's higher screen resolution, better color accuracy, and higher brightness with HDR support make it a better choice despite the higher cost. Keep in mind, the Innocn also has a smaller screen, which could impact your immersion or multi-tasking space. Give Feedback

"Thanks to the wide color gamut, games and videos will look even more vibrant than the standard wide gamut displays (such as LG’s Nano IPS with 98% DCI-P3 and ~90% Adobe RGB, for instance), especially when it comes to blue, cyan and green shades. All in all, if you want a 27″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with a mini LED FALD backlight, the Innocn 27M2V is currently the best model available."
