If you're on a budget and need a monitor mainly for casual gaming or productivity with decent color accuracy for digital photo editing, the AOC 24G2SPU might be the better choice. However, if you're willing to invest in superior image clarity, higher resolution, and a monitor that excels at media consumption and HDR gaming, the LG 27EP950 would be more suitable. Keep in mind, the LG offers a more vivid color experience but isn't tailored for competitive gaming due to its lower refresh rate, while the AOC has a higher refresh rate for smoother gameplay but lesser resolution and color fidelity.
