If you prioritize a larger, ultrawide screen for multitasking and a more immersive experience in gaming and media, the Gigabyte M34WQ with its higher resolution and wider aspect ratio is a solid pick. However, if budget is a primary concern and you mostly engage in competitive gaming where higher refresh rates and lower response times are key, the Lenovo G24-20 offers a great value despite its smaller size and standard resolution. Neither monitor is ideal for high-end color work or HDR gaming, but for digital photo editing with good coverage of color gamuts, the Gigabyte has a slight edge. Give Feedback

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."
