If you're looking for a budget-friendly monitor with solid performance for casual gaming and productivity, the AOC 24G2SPU is a great fit, particularly with its high refresh rate and good response time. However, if you prioritize high resolution and superior image quality for professional photo editing or HDR gaming and media consumption, the Phillips 27E1N8900, with its higher resolution and OLED technology, would be a better choice despite its higher price. Keep in mind that the AOC will save you money, but the Phillips provides a more immersive visual experience with sharper text and image clarity. Give Feedback
