If you're on a budget and primarily interested in casual gaming, the AOC 24G2SPU is a solid choice with a good refresh rate and competitive gaming performance, despite its smaller screen and lower resolution. Conversely, the KTC H27T22 offers better image clarity with a larger screen and higher resolution, making it preferable for productivity and media consumption. However, it's more expensive and may not provide a significantly better gaming experience to justify the higher cost if gaming is your main focus. Neither is suitable for HDR gaming or media consumption, so if that's a priority, you might want to look at other options. Give Feedback
