If cost is a significant factor and you're looking for a monitor that provides a decent gaming experience on a budget, the AOC 24G2SPU could serve you well for casual gaming and general productivity. However, if you're a competitive gamer seeking higher performance, better image clarity, and don't mind investing more, the Asus PG279QM would offer smoother gameplay due to its higher refresh rate and would also be superior for tasks requiring color accuracy, such as digital photo editing. Neither monitor is particularly suited for HDR gaming or HDR video editing, so if those are priorities, you might want to consider other options. Give Feedback
