If you're on a tight budget and mostly engage in casual gaming and productivity tasks, the AOC 24G2SPU (IPS) is a cost-effective choice. It provides decent performance for day-to-day use but falls short in HDR gaming and media consumption. In contrast, the Asus PG34WCDM (W-OLED) is better suited for competitive gaming, HDR gaming, and media with its wide color gamut and higher resolution. Its OLED panel offers superior contrast and image clarity, beneficial for digital photo editing as well. However, the Asus monitor is significantly pricier, so choose this if you prioritize high-end gaming and media experiences and can afford the investment. Give Feedback
