If competitive gaming is a top priority and budget allows, the Asus PG279QM offers a superior experience thanks to its higher refresh rate and better performance in fast-paced games. However, if you're looking to save money and need a monitor primarily for casual gaming or general productivity, the Gigabyte G24F-2 will serve you well for those purposes without the extra investment. Neither option is tailored for high-end HDR gaming or media consumption, but both are suitable for digital photo editing with good color accuracy. Give Feedback
