If you're looking for a larger, higher resolution monitor with a wider color range, better for tasks like digital photo editing and print photo editing, the Acer XB323U-GX would be the preferred choice, albeit at a higher cost. However, if your focus is primarily on casual or competitive gaming on a budget, the Lenovo G24-20 offers a smaller screen and lower resolution but sufficient performance for gaming, with a lower refresh rate range and without the premium features of the Acer, making it more wallet-friendly. Neither monitor is ideal for HDR gaming or media consumption. Give Feedback
