If budget is a priority and you're mainly into casual gaming or general productivity, the AOC 24G2SPU offers a solid choice with a smaller screen, adequate for standard full HD content. However, if you're willing to invest more for a larger, sharper display beneficial for both gaming with higher refresh rates and more screen real estate for productivity, the LG 27GP83B would be the upgrade. The LG's larger size and higher resolution are also an advantage for media consumption, although neither of these monitors is best suited for serious HDR gaming or professional color work due to their limited color and brightness capabilities.
