If you prioritize gaming on a budget, the Gigabyte M34WQ offers a wide 21:9 aspect ratio and decent refresh rate at a midrange price, suitable for immersive casual gaming and multitasking in productivity. However, if you work in digital photo editing or desire a premium media experience, the Innocn 32Q1U with its superior contrast and color reproduction, especially for print photo editing, may be worth the higher cost. It's less optimal for gaming due to the lower refresh rate but excels in image clarity for HDR content. Choose the Gigabyte for a balance of gaming and productivity, or the Innocn for top-tier visuals in editing and media. 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."
