If you're a competitive gamer looking for top-notch responsiveness and are willing to invest heavily, the Asus PG34WCDM with W-OLED technology offers exceptional performance with high refresh rates, making it a standout choice. Its wide color gamut and high contrast also make it suitable for digital photo editing and enjoying HDR games and media. However, for casual gaming, general productivity, and if you're on a budget, the Lenovo G24-20 with an IPS panel provides good image clarity and color accuracy at a much lower price point. Keep in mind, it won't match the Asus in refresh rate or offer the same level of HDR experience. Give Feedback
