If you're looking for an affordable monitor primarily for casual gaming, the AOC 24G2SPU may be a good choice due to its higher refresh rate and low response time, which are beneficial for gaming. However, the Asus PA279CV would be more suitable for productivity tasks and digital photo editing because of its higher resolution and better color gamut, enabling clearer image details and more accurate colors. Keep in mind, though, that the Asus model is more expensive and not as well-suited for competitive gaming due to its lower refresh rate. If high-definition media consumption is important to you, the Asus also has a slight advantage with its larger screen and 4K resolution, but it's not the best for HDR gaming or video editing despite having better peak brightness than the AOC.

Matthew Smith | April 2022
"Asus’ ProArt PA279CV is a sensible choice for content creators who want a color accurate 4K monitor but don’t want to clean out their savings account. It edges out alternatives like the BenQ PD2720U and Dell S2722QC in brightness and contrast without giving up ground on connectivity or menu options."
