If price is a significant factor and you primarily engage in casual gaming and productivity, the AOC 24G2SPU offers a solid choice, sacrificing higher resolution and color accuracy. For competitive gaming, its good refresh rate will suffice, although not at the top. However, for the best gaming experience, especially for HDR content, and superior image clarity, the Asus PG27AQDM is worth the extra investment, with its outstanding contrast and color performance. The Asus is also equipped for better media consumption, but its higher price may be a steep trade-off if those enhancements are not critical to your needs. Give Feedback
