If you prioritize productivity, the LG 34WQ75C with its ultra-wide screen might suit you better, ensuring more space for multitasking and a wider field of view for media consumption, although it's not the best for HDR gaming or competitive gaming due to lower refresh rates. On the other hand, if you're into gaming, especially casual gaming that benefits from high refresh rates and clear motion, the Gigabyte M32U would be a smart pick. Its larger color gamut also makes it suitable for digital photo editing, but it is not ideal for professional HDR video editing or print photo editing. Give Feedback

Tom's Guide
Matthew Murray | June 2022
"The Gigabyte M32U gaming monitor is almost a slam-dunk choice, considering everything you get as part of the package. Gigabyte goes for broke with things like its built-in KVM switch and GameAssist, and those come close to paying off. Add in the well-executed, more familiar offerings, and this is a monitor that deserves serious thought if you’re in the market for what it delivers."
