If affordability is a priority and you engage in casual gaming and productivity tasks, the AOC 24G2SPU with its standard resolution and screen size will suffice. However, if you're willing to invest more for an immersive gaming experience and superior image quality for tasks like digital photo editing, the MSI 45GS96QB offers a larger, curved display with a much higher resolution and better color depth, but its higher cost and larger size may be less practical for some desk setups. Keep in mind, the AOC may perform better in high motion scenes due to its faster response time, which could be a deciding factor for competitive gaming. Give Feedback
