If your priority is top-tier competitive gaming or a premium media experience, the Asus PG49WCD (QD-OLED) with its wide display and exceptional contrast would be an excellent choice, but keep in mind that it comes at a higher cost and might not be as suitable for productivity due to its extravagant size. On the other hand, the Lenovo G24-20 (IPS) is more affordable and offers a good balance for casual gaming and productivity with its decent color accuracy, but it won't deliver the same level of performance in gaming or media consumption as the Asus. Choose the Asus if you value a broad and immersive display for gaming and watching content and are willing to invest more; opt for the Lenovo if you're budget-conscious and primarily need a monitor for everyday gaming and work tasks.
