If you're looking for a cost-effective option for casual gaming and digital photo editing, the AOC 24G2SPU with its standard resolution and size could work well for you. However, the ViewSonic XG341C-2K is a premium monitor with a larger, ultra-wide screen that offers higher resolution and superior contrast, making it better suited for an immersive gaming experience, media consumption, and print photo editing. Keep in mind, the ViewSonic's higher price reflects its advanced features and capabilities, so if your budget allows and you value a broader color range and higher brightness for HDR content, the investment might be justified.
