If budget is a significant concern and you primarily engage in casual gaming and digital photo editing, the AOC monitor offers a solid experience at a lower cost. For a superior wide-screen experience suitable for multitasking, productivity, and an immersive media-consumption with better image clarity, the LG monitor, with its larger screen and higher resolution, would be an excellent choice despite being more expensive. Keep in mind, for competitive gaming, both have good refresh rates, but the smaller size and faster total response time of the AOC monitor may give you a slight edge. If HDR gaming and video editing are crucial to you, neither monitor is ideal, but the LG's larger color gamut and higher HDR brightness provide a better experience despite its higher price.
