If saving money is your priority and you mainly engage in casual gaming or productivity tasks, the Gigabyte G24F-2 (IPS) with its lower resolution and smaller size will suffice. However, if you're looking for a larger screen, better gaming performance with higher resolution for more detailed images, and don't mind spending more, then the Innocn 27G1S (VA) would be a better fit. Both monitors have their limitations in peak brightness and color gamut, making them less ideal for serious HDR gaming or professional media editing. Give Feedback
