If you're focused on a balance of productivity and casual gaming at a more affordable price, the Gigabyte M32U with its larger screen and higher resolution can be an excellent choice. However, if you prioritize exceptional contrast and color accuracy for HDR gaming or photo editing, despite a higher cost, the ViewSonic VX2776 delivers better performance with its OLED technology, albeit with a smaller screen and lower resolution. Keep in mind for competitive gaming, the ViewSonic's higher refresh rate and response time could provide a smoother experience. The Gigabyte's expansive color coverage is less suited for print photo editing compared to the ViewSonic, which excels in that area. 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."
