If you're a competitive gamer or someone who values a higher refresh rate and deeper contrast, the Gigabyte M32UC with its VA panel would be more suitable for you, especially considering it's slightly less expensive. However, if you prioritize wider viewing angles and better color accuracy, particularly for tasks like digital photo editing, the LG 34WQ75C’s IPS panel could serve you better. Keep in mind the LG has a wider aspect ratio which can be great for productivity, offering more screen real estate for multitasking but isn't suited for HDR gaming. The Gigabyte has higher peak brightness, which is beneficial for HDR content, but it's not suitable for print photo editing where color precision is critical. Give Feedback
