If you prioritize a higher refresh rate for smoother gameplay, the Gigabyte M32Q would suit you well for casual and competitive gaming at a more affordable price. However, if widescreen productivity and a larger aspect ratio for multitasking are important to you, and you are willing to spend more, the LG 34WQ75C offers a broader display. Both monitors have an IPS panel for good color accuracy, beneficial for photo editing, but neither is considered excellent for HDR gaming and media. Keep in mind the Gigabyte has a slight edge in response time, which can reduce ghosting in fast-paced games. Give Feedback
