If you prioritize high-resolution work and photo editing, the Asus PA279CV will serve you well with its clearer text and image clarity due to its larger screen and higher resolution. It is also suitable for print photo editing. However, for budget-conscious customers looking for a monitor primarily for competitive gaming, the Lenovo G24-20 offers a higher refresh rate and faster response time, which can provide smoother gameplay, but it has a lower resolution and smaller screen size, making it less ideal for productivity tasks and detailed graphics work. The Lenovo is also priced more affordably, making it a cost-effective choice for casual use and gaming. Give Feedback

Matthew Smith | April 2022
"Asus’ ProArt PA279CV is a sensible choice for content creators who want a color accurate 4K monitor but don’t want to clean out their savings account. It edges out alternatives like the BenQ PD2720U and Dell S2722QC in brightness and contrast without giving up ground on connectivity or menu options."
