If you prioritize high resolution and color accuracy for tasks like digital photo editing or print photo editing, the Asus PA279CRV with its larger screen and better image clarity is suited for you, despite its higher price. However, if you are into gaming, especially competitive gaming where refresh rate and response time are crucial, the Gigabyte G24F-2 would be the preferred choice at a budget price, with a better refresh rate and response time, although it has a lower resolution and smaller screen size which could limit your workspace for productivity or the detail in media consumption.
