If you're on a budget and mostly engaged in casual gaming and productivity tasks, the AOC 24G2SPU provides a good experience at a lower cost. In contrast, if you're a serious or competitive gamer looking for a larger screen, higher resolution, and top-tier refresh rate, the Asus XB273U F should deliver a superior gaming performance. The Asus also excels in digital photo editing with better color accuracy and is more suited for professional work due to its larger color gamut, making the higher price worthwhile for these advanced features. However, both might not be the best for HDR gaming and media consumption due to their limited peak brightness capabilities. Give Feedback
