If you're on a budget and mostly interested in casual gaming and productivity, the AOC 24G2SPU (IPS) would be a cost-effective choice. It's suitable for digital photo editing and offers a good overall experience. However, if you're willing to invest more for a superior visual experience, particularly for HDR gaming and media consumption, the ViewSonic XG272 2K OLED offers exceptional contrast and color, making it ideal for print photo editing and enjoying richer, deeper images. For competitive gaming, its higher refresh rate could provide an edge with smoother visuals. Keep in mind that the ViewSonic's higher resolution will offer sharper images but it comes at a premium price. Give Feedback
