If you're on a budget and primarily interested in casual gaming and digital photo editing, the AOC 24G2SPU is a solid choice with a smaller screen and standard resolution that's suitable for those activities. However, if you prefer a more immersive experience and have a higher budget, the LG 34GP83A offers a larger, ultra-wide screen with a higher resolution that enhances productivity and media consumption but may not be as suitable for high-level competitive gaming due to its slightly longer response time. Both have IPS panels, good color accuracy, and adjustable stands, but the LG's larger size and higher resolution will provide a more spacious and detailed visual experience at a higher cost.
