If you're a casual gamer looking for a cost-effective option, the AOC 24G2SPU (IPS) is a suitable choice with a high refresh rate, which will offer smoother gameplay. Its smaller screen and traditional aspect ratio make it versatile for different types of use, including general productivity tasks. However, if your work involves digital photo editing or you enjoy consuming media in higher resolutions, the LG DualUp 28MQ780 (IPS) provides a larger and taller screen, better for multitasking and detailed work. Keep in mind, the LG's unique aspect ratio may not be as advantageous for gaming or watching standard widescreen videos. Give Feedback
