If you prefer a larger screen and a monitor that can handle a variety of tasks including casual gaming and digital photo editing, the Gigabyte M32Q could be the right choice, despite it being more expensive. However, if you are looking for sharp text and image clarity, especially for competitive gaming, the LG 27GP83B might serve you better and save you some money. Both monitors will not offer the best experience for HDR gaming and media consumption due to their limited peak brightness and color volume, so if HDR content is a priority, these options may not be ideal.
