The AOC 24G2SPU is a cost-effective choice that performs well for casual and competitive gaming due to a higher refresh rate, making it smooth for fast-paced games. It's less ideal for professional photo editing or media consumption due to its lower resolution and color gamut. On the other hand, the Asus PA279CRV, while more expensive, offers a sharper image with its higher resolution and superior color accuracy, making it better for productivity tasks, digital photo editing, and enjoying high-resolution media. However, it's less suitable for competitive gaming because of a lower refresh rate, which can affect the smoothness of gameplay. Give Feedback
