If you're looking for better image quality and more screen real estate for productivity or digital photo editing, the MSI G274QPF-QD with its higher resolution and larger screen would be beneficial. However, if you prefer fast-paced gaming with minimal ghosting, the AOC 24G2SPU offers a slightly better experience in this regard. Both monitors have a high refresh rate and support variable refresh rate, making them suitable for casual gaming. The AOC model's smaller size might make text appear clearer, which can be advantageous for reading or tasks requiring attention to detail. Those interested in print photo editing will find the MSI's wider color gamut and color depth more appealing. Give Feedback
