If you favor a large, immersive display for productivity with a high resolution, the Gigabyte M32UC offers a bigger screen size and sharper image at a more affordable price, making it suitable for a variety of tasks including casual gaming. However, if you prioritize a premium gaming experience and can invest more, the LG 45GR95QE-B will excel in competitive gaming thanks to its superior response time and wider refresh rate range, although it has a lower resolution and might not be as good for productivity tasks due to less screen real estate and image clarity. The LG also offers better performance for HDR content, making it ideal for HDR gaming and media consumption. Give Feedback
