If you prioritize digital photo editing and a wider color gamut, the AOC 24G2SPU could be a good fit despite its higher price. However, if you want to save money and still maintain good performance for casual and competitive gaming, the Lenovo G24-20 offers that at a lower price point. Both monitors offer similar screen resolutions, sizes, and refresh rates, but neither is ideal for HDR gaming or media consumption due to their limited brightness and color volume. For productivity, both are adequate with fair text quality and image clarity, so the decision largely depends on your budget and whether photo editing is a priority. Give Feedback
