If you prioritize competitive gaming and have a higher budget, the AOC AG456UCZD offers an exceptional gaming experience with its high refresh rate and low response time, which are crucial for fast-paced games. However, it's less suitable for productivity due to its lower image clarity and text quality. On the other hand, the Lenovo G24-20 is more budget-friendly and offers good text quality and image clarity, making it suitable for productivity tasks, but it doesn't excel in competitive gaming or media consumption like the AOC does. Neither of these monitors is well-suited for professional photo editing. Give Feedback
