If you prioritize high-quality visuals and are looking for exceptional contrast and color depth for tasks like HDR gaming and media consumption, the Asus PG27AQDM with its OLED panel would offer a superior experience. However, if budget is a major concern and you are primarily engaged in casual gaming and productivity, the Lenovo G24-20 would be more cost-effective while still delivering decent performance, albeit with lower contrast and color fidelity. The Lenovo may not excel in HDR content, but it can handle everyday tasks well. The Asus, while pricier, will also excel in competitive gaming due to its very good response times and refresh rates.
