If you prioritize high refresh rates, excellent contrast, and peak brightness for vibrant HDR gaming and don't mind investing more, the AOC AG276QZD (W-OLED) could be a superb choice. However, if budget is a concern, and you mainly engage in casual or competitive gaming, with an occasional need for digital photo editing, the Gigabyte G24F-2 (IPS) offers respectable performance at a lower cost. Keep in mind, the AOC will offer sharper text and better image clarity due to its higher resolution and pixels per inch, but the Gigabyte's smaller screen size and lower resolution can still be quite adequate, especially if space is a consideration.
