If you're on a tighter budget and want a larger screen, the Gigabyte M32UC with its 32-inch display is a cost-effective option that's great for productivity with good image quality, decent for casual gaming, and has a good contrast for darker scenes. However, if you prioritize higher quality for HDR gaming and media consumption and are able to invest more, the Innocn 27M2V offers superior brightness, better colors for photo editing, and a higher HDR peak brightness, although it has a smaller 27-inch screen. The Gigabyte could suit you well for everyday tasks and some gaming, while the Innocn excels in picture quality and color accuracy, making it ideal for creative professionals and a superior media consumption experience.

Display Ninja
Rob Shafer | January 2024
"Thanks to the wide color gamut, games and videos will look even more vibrant than the standard wide gamut displays (such as LG’s Nano IPS with 98% DCI-P3 and ~90% Adobe RGB, for instance), especially when it comes to blue, cyan and green shades. All in all, if you want a 27″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with a mini LED FALD backlight, the Innocn 27M2V is currently the best model available."
