If you're on a budget and mostly engage in casual gaming or need a monitor for general productivity, the AOC 24G2SPU is a good choice with solid performance for its lower price. However, if you prioritize high-quality visuals for HDR gaming, video editing, or professional photo work and are willing to invest more, the LG 32EP950 offers superior color accuracy, better resolution, and larger screen size. It's important to note that the AOC has a higher refresh rate suited for gaming, while the LG excels in image quality and color precision but has a lower refresh rate, which is less optimal for competitive gaming.
