If you're on a budget and primarily interested in casual gaming and digital photo editing, the AOC 24G2SPU (IPS) is a cost-effective choice with good color accuracy and a decent refresh rate. However, if you're seeking an immersive experience and excel in HDR gaming and media consumption, the AOC PD49 (QD-OLED), with its superior contrast, brightness, and color volume, will deliver outstanding performance, though at a higher cost. Bear in mind the larger size and ultra-wide aspect of the PD49 may affect the suitability for productivity tasks due to its expansive screen requiring more head movement. The 24G2SPU's traditional aspect ratio and size could be more comfortable for long hours of work. Give Feedback
