If you're on a budget and enjoy casual or even competitive gaming, the AOC 24G2SPU, with its higher refresh rate, might serve you well, particularly if a 24-inch screen is sufficient. However, if you are looking for a broader and more immersive experience, particularly for productivity or media consumption, and don't mind spending more, the LG 34WQ73A may be appealing with its larger 34-inch ultrawide screen. Bear in mind that the LG's lower refresh rate might not be ideal for competitive gaming. Also, if color accuracy for print photo editing is important, the LG's better color gamut coverage gives it an advantage in that regard. Give Feedback
