If you're a serious gamer looking for top performance with a high refresh rate and low response time, the Asus XB273U F (IPS) stands out as an excellent choice despite its higher cost. It's also well-suited for digital photo editing due to its better color accuracy. However, if budget is a concern and you're engaged in more casual gaming or general use, the Gigabyte G24F-2 (IPS) still offers a solid gaming experience at a lower resolution and is good for digital photo editing. Neither monitor is the best option for HDR gaming or media consumption, but the Asus provides slightly better brightness and contrast, which might improve your experience in this area. Give Feedback
