For casual gaming and productivity tasks on a tighter budget, the AOC 24G2SPU offers good performance and value. This monitor provides a smooth gaming experience with its high refresh rate. However, if you prioritize higher resolution for more detailed images and better color accuracy for tasks like photo editing, the Asus VG28UQL1A, with its larger screen and higher resolution, is superior. It also includes features like wider color gamuts, making it suitable for print photo editing. Remember, this comes at a higher price. Neither monitor is ideal for HDR gaming or HDR video editing due to their limited peak brightness and color volume. Give Feedback

Matthew Smith | March 2022
"The Asus TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A is, in many ways, a great 4K gaming monitor. It has a sharp, accurate image with good contrast and excellent motion clarity. Luminance uniformity is its only weakness. The monitor’s $799 MSRP is relatively affordable for a 4K HDMI 2.1 monitor, as well."
