If you are on a budget and primarily interested in casual or competitive gaming, the AOC 24G2SPU offers a high refresh rate and quick response time, making it a solid choice for smooth gameplay. The smaller screen and lower resolution mean it's less ideal for productivity and media consumption. Conversely, the CoolerMaster GP27U will cost you more but provides superior image quality with high resolution, better color accuracy, and is great for HDR gaming and media consumption. It also offers a larger screen, making it better suited for productivity tasks and immersive experiences. If print photo editing or HDR video editing are priorities, the CoolerMaster GP27U is the better choice, while the AOC 24G2SPU is more tailored towards those who favor gaming performance and are looking to save money.
