If you prioritize a larger screen and superior contrast for immersive gaming and media, the Samsung S49AG95 Odyssey Neo G9 with its wide format might be appealing despite its higher cost. However, if you are looking for a more budget-friendly option that's still suitable for casual gaming and digital photo editing, the Gigabyte M32Q with its good color accuracy and faster response time could be the way to go, although it won't deliver the same level of HDR performance as the Samsung. Consider how much value you place on screen size, contrast, and cost when making your decision. Give Feedback
