If you're focused on competitive gaming, the ViewSonic XG2431 is tailored for you with a higher refresh rate and response-time features that are designed to minimize motion blur and ghosting, crucial for fast-paced games. However, if color accuracy for tasks like digital photo editing is more important, the AOC 24G2SPU would be a better fit, offering better coverage of color gamuts. Both monitors won't deliver the best experience for HDR gaming and media due to their limited peak brightness. For general productivity and media consumption, neither stands out as superior, so your choice should be guided by your primary use: competitive gaming or color-critical work. Give Feedback
