The AOC 24G2SPU offers good value for casual gaming and productivity with its ample refresh rate and solid performance in those areas. However, the larger LG 32GQ850 enhances the gaming experience with a higher resolution and refresh rate, which can be significant for competitive gaming, and is also suitable for digital photo editing due to its superior color gamut. If budget allows and your focus is on competitive gaming and editing, the LG is the better option. On the other hand, if cost is a concern and your use leans towards casual gaming and general productivity, the AOC would serve you well. Give Feedback
