If you are a competitive gamer looking for the highest performance and can invest in a premium product, the AOC AG456UCZD with OLED technology offers exceptional response times and refresh rates, beneficial for fast-paced games. On the other hand, if you're on a budget and primarily engage in casual gaming or productivity, the Gigabyte G24F-2 provides decent performance at a much lower cost. The AOC excels in color depth and contrast, suitable for high-quality HDR gaming and media consumption, while the Gigabyte monitor is adequate for digital photo editing but falls short for HDR content.
