If you're on a budget and primarily involved in casual gaming or productivity, the AOC 24G2SPU with its smaller screen and standard resolution could serve you well. However, for a superior visual experience, particularly in HDR gaming and media consumption due to its better color performance and contrast, the Phillips 34M2C8600 may be worth the higher price. The Phillips also has a wider screen which could enhance your immersive experience in gaming and video editing but note that it's more of an investment. Consider your main activities: if they lean towards high-quality media and competitive gaming, the Phillips might be the better choice, despite its higher cost. Give Feedback
