If you prioritize a sharp image and a larger screen for productivity or immersive media consumption while keeping costs down, the Gigabyte M32U is a solid choice. On the other hand, if you are willing to invest in top-tier visuals for HDR gaming or professional color work, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9, with its exceptional contrast and color accuracy, offers a premium experience. The curved, ultra-wide display of the Samsung delivers a more immersive gaming experience, but may not suit all productivity tasks as well as the more traditional aspect ratio of the Gigabyte. The Samsung's OLED technology also provides better viewing angles and true blacks, making it superior for media consumption, though its glossy screen can reflect more light than the matte finish of the Gigabyte.

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."
