If price is a primary concern and you mainly engage in casual or competitive gaming on a smaller screen, the AOC 24G2SPU (IPS) is a solid choice with a good refresh rate and response time. On the other hand, the Gigabyte CO49DQ (QD-OLED) offers a wide, immersive display with superior contrast and color performance, making it excellent for HDR gaming and media consumption. However, its large size may be less suited for productivity tasks due to potential difficulties in managing multiple windows. Keep in mind that the higher price tag of the Gigabyte also reflects its advanced OLED technology which significantly outshines typical LED panels in visual fidelity. Give Feedback
