If you're a competitive gamer looking for high refresh rates and better responsiveness, the Asus monitor offers these features, but you'll pay more. For casual gaming and general use on a budget, the Lenovo provides decent performance at a lower cost. The Asus will be better for digital photo editing with its wider color gamut, while the Lenovo still delivers correct colors but is less suited for professional editing. Neither is ideal for HDR gaming or video editing. If productivity is key and you need clearer text and image clarity, the Asus has an edge with higher resolution on a larger screen. Give Feedback
