If you're looking for an affordable monitor mainly for competitive gaming and general productivity, the AOC 24G2SPU offers a fast refresh rate and is well-suited for those purposes without breaking the bank. However, if you're willing to invest in a premium, wider display for an immersive gaming and media experience, the LG 45GS95QE provides exceptional contrast and color depth, especially for HDR gaming and print photo editing. Keep in mind, for text clarity and general image sharpness, the AOC might be the better option, while the LG excels in vibrant color reproduction and high dynamic range content. Give Feedback
