If you prioritize an immersive experience with top-of-the-line image quality for HDR gaming and media consumption, the Gigabyte CO49DQ (QD-OLED) with its large screen, excellent contrast, and vibrant colors makes a compelling choice despite its higher cost. However, if you prefer a more affordable option that still delivers good performance for productivity and casual gaming, the Gigabyte G24F-2 (IPS) will serve you well, with the added benefit of an adjustable stand, although it won't match the superior image quality or size of the CO49DQ.
