If budget is a concern and you're into casual or competitive gaming, the AOC 24G2SPU offers a fast refresh rate and good response time, enhancing your gaming experience. However, if high-resolution work like digital photo editing or enjoying detailed media is a priority and cost is less of an issue, the LG UltraFine 5K with its superior image clarity and larger screen may be worth the investment. The AOC falls short for productivity and media consumption when compared to the LG's outstanding text and image quality, but excels in the gaming department, especially for the price. Give Feedback
