If you prioritize a larger, ultra-wide screen for an immersive experience in productivity tasks or casual gaming, the Gigabyte M34WQ with its higher resolution could be a better choice. However, if you're more into competitive gaming and on a tighter budget, the Innocn 27G1S with its higher refresh rate will offer smoother gameplay. The Innocn monitor wouldn't be as good for tasks that benefit from accurate color representation, like photo editing, while the Gigabyte offers better color accuracy for such creative work. Neither is particularly suited for HDR content, so if that's important to you, you might want to look elsewhere. Give Feedback

Display Ninja
Rob Shafer | November 2023
"If you want a 34″ 3440×1440 ultrawide gaming monitor with a fast response time speed, smooth VRR performance, vibrant colors and crisp details, the Gigabyte M34WQ is one of the best options below $450. Additionally, it has an ergonomic stand, rich connectivity options and plenty of extra features, such as a built-in KVM switch. Some users might not be pleased by its flat screen, but at a certain viewing distance, it feels completely natural."

"The monitor is a sweet spot for gamers who want something faster than 165 Hz while keeping the benefits of fast response times and relative affordability. The VA panel is now more competitive against many IPS options."
