If you're on a tight budget and mainly engage in casual gaming or general productivity, the AOC 24G2SPU offers good value with adequate features for those tasks. However, if you can invest more and are interested in a sharper image, better performance for competitive gaming, and engaging in digital photo editing with wider color gamuts, the Gigabyte M27Q-X is a better fit. While it's more costly, the Gigabyte also provides a larger screen with a higher resolution, which improves overall media consumption and might be beneficial for tasks requiring finer details.

PC Mag
Zachery Cuevas | August 2022
"The company delivers again with the Gigabyte M27Q X, a 1440p monitor that comes equipped with just about everything you want and need from a gaming monitor. It may not be a 4K panel, but it more than makes up for its lower resolution in performance, bringing a whopping 240Hz refresh rate and a host of unusual features, including an onboard KVM and plenty of ports. It's a great performer, though low brightness levels and a so-so contrast ratio keep it short of top marks."
