If affordability is your priority and you engage in casual gaming, the Gigabyte G24F-2 provides a solid experience without breaking the bank. Its smaller screen and standard resolution are adequate for everyday use and the higher refresh rate is beneficial for gaming. However, if you prefer a larger screen with higher resolution and are into HDR gaming or media consumption, the Innocn 27M2U's MiniLED technology offers superior brightness and color, which enhances both work and play. It's more expensive, but if you need your monitor for professional photo editing or to enjoy high-resolution content, the investment could be worthwhile. Keep in mind, the Innocn's refresh rate isn't as gamer-friendly if competitive gaming is a frequent activity. Give Feedback

Forbes
Mark Sparrow | November 2022
"The Innocn 27MU2 screen isn’t built to Apple standards, but it’s robust enough for desktop use and surprisingly lightweight, considering its image quality. The stand is rock steady and adjustable, plus the screen can be wall mounted. There are plenty of input options plus the ability to display two sources on screen at the same time."
