If you're on a budget and mainly interested in casual gaming or productivity, the AOC 24G2SPU would be a good fit with its higher refresh rate and fast response time, making it suitable for a smooth gaming experience. However, if you're looking for a larger screen for more immersive media consumption and are willing to spend more, the Samsung S43CG70 with its better contrast and color depth might be more appealing, but its lower refresh rate might not be ideal for competitive gaming. Neither monitor is ideal for high-end HDR gaming or professional photo and video editing due to their limited HDR and color performance. Give Feedback
