If you're looking for a high-resolution monitor for detailed images and have a higher budget, the Asus VG28UQL1A with its larger, sharper screen is suitable, though at a premium cost. It offers better gaming with a higher variable refresh rate range, better image clarity, and is also good for productivity tasks due to its larger screen size. However, if you want to save money and primarily focus on casual and competitive gaming, the Lenovo G24-20 is cost-effective with a good refresh rate and variable refresh range, but with lower resolution, it's not as well-suited for detailed productivity tasks or high-quality media consumption.

Matthew Smith | March 2022
"The Asus TUF Gaming VG28UQL1A is, in many ways, a great 4K gaming monitor. It has a sharp, accurate image with good contrast and excellent motion clarity. Luminance uniformity is its only weakness. The monitor’s $799 MSRP is relatively affordable for a 4K HDMI 2.1 monitor, as well."
