If you're on a budget and primarily interested in casual or competitive gaming, the Gigabyte G24F-2 could be a great choice due to its lower price and good refresh rate, but its smaller size and lower resolution mean it might not be as satisfying for productivity or media consumption. On the other hand, the Innocn 27M2V offers a larger, higher-resolution screen with better color depth and is suitable for HDR gaming and media viewing, as well as digital photo editing, making it well-suited for productivity and a more immersive entertainment experience, but at a higher price point.

How the Gigabyte G24F-2 (IPS) and the Innocn 27M2V (IPS MiniLED) compare to other monitors
"Thanks to the wide color gamut, games and videos will look even more vibrant than the standard wide gamut displays (such as LG’s Nano IPS with 98% DCI-P3 and ~90% Adobe RGB, for instance), especially when it comes to blue, cyan and green shades. All in all, if you want a 27″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with a mini LED FALD backlight, the Innocn 27M2V is currently the best model available."
