If you're on a budget and mostly engage in casual gaming and productivity tasks, the AOC 24G2SPU is a solid choice with its good refresh rate and fair image quality. However, if you're willing to spend more for superior image quality, the Innocn 27M2U provides a sharper, larger display with better brightness and color performance, making it excellent for HDR gaming and media consumption. The Innocn is also more suitable for high-quality digital photo editing and has a high pixel density for clear images. Whereas the AOC could serve well for competitive gaming due to its very good response times and high refresh rate, which are key for fast-paced games. Give Feedback

How the AOC 24G2SPU (IPS) and the Innocn 27M2U (IPS MiniLED) compare to other monitors
"The Innocn 27MU2 screen isn’t built to Apple standards, but it’s robust enough for desktop use and surprisingly lightweight, considering its image quality. The stand is rock steady and adjustable, plus the screen can be wall mounted. There are plenty of input options plus the ability to display two sources on screen at the same time."
