Our Verdict

BenQ EW3270U

Gigabyte M32U

The Gigabyte M32U and the BenQ EW3270U use different panel technologies, but the Gigabyte is still better for most people overall. The Gigabyte has a much faster refresh rate, significantly better motion handling, and lower input lag. The Gigabyte has better ergonomics, and it has two HDMI 2.1 ports, so it's a better choice for some console gamers. On the other hand, the BenQ has much better contrast, so if you're in a dark room and the other things don't matter to you, it's a better choice.
