For casual gaming on a budget, the AOC 24G2SPU is a solid choice with a higher refresh rate that's great for fast-paced action, and its lower price will save you money. However, if you're focused on productivity and high-resolution media consumption, the Dell U2723QE with its sharper 4K resolution will provide crisper visuals and more screen real estate, which benefits tasks that require details, like photo editing. Keep in mind that the Dell's higher resolution and color accuracy come at a higher cost, and its lower refresh rate is not ideal for competitive gaming. Give Feedback
