If budget is a primary concern and you mainly engage in casual gaming or general productivity tasks, the AOC 24G2SPU provides an affordable option with decent gaming capabilities on a 24-inch screen. However, if you're willing to invest more for a larger, 32-inch screen with sharper image quality for both gaming and productivity, plus better performance in color-related tasks such as digital photo editing, the Gigabyte M32Q is a strong choice. Just keep in mind, for HDR gaming and media consumption, neither monitor excels, so if those are a priority, you may want to consider other options. Give Feedback
