If budget is a concern and you're looking for a monitor that's less expensive but still offers a good screen size and performance, the Gigabyte M32Q may be a solid choice. For tasks like digital photo editing and with features such as variable refresh rate and strobing, it provides versatility. However, if you prefer a wider screen for an immersive experience in media consumption and enjoy ultra-wide formats for productivity, the LG 34GP83A with its larger, curved screen may be worth the extra investment despite not being the best option for high dynamic range (HDR) gaming or video editing. Both monitors are quite capable for casual and competitive gaming, but the Gigabyte offers better value if cost is a major factor. Give Feedback
