If you're on a budget and looking for a monitor primarily for productivity with occasional casual gaming, the AOC 24G2SPU with its 24-inch screen and 1080p resolution is a cost-effective choice. However, for a slightly higher price, the Innocn 27G1S offers a larger 27-inch display with a higher 1440p resolution, which is better for media consumption and offers a more immersive gaming experience, but it might not have as accurate color rendition for digital photo editing when compared to the AOC. Neither monitor is ideal for HDR gaming or professional video and print photo editing due to their brightness and color volume limitations. Give Feedback
