If you are on a tight budget and primarily interested in casual gaming and productivity, the AOC 24G2SPU with its smaller screen and lower resolution may suffice, as it offers an adjustable stand and a good rate of refresh which is beneficial for gaming. However, if you're inclined towards a larger screen with better resolution for sharper images, and you engage in more competitive gaming and content creation, the MSI G273QPF might be the better investment despite being slightly more expensive. It provides better image clarity and a higher refresh range, which can be advantageous for fast-paced gaming. The MSI also has a greater color depth, contributing positively to tasks like digital photo editing. Give Feedback
