If budget is a major concern and you're looking for good performance in both casual and competitive gaming thanks to its higher refresh rate and response time, then the Gigabyte G24F-2 (IPS) is a suitable option. However, the LG 27EQ850 (W-OLED) offers superior image clarity, better for HDR gaming and media consumption, and higher resolution for a more premium viewing experience, although its higher price and lower refresh rate may not appeal to competitive gamers. If your focus is on productivity or you enjoy high-quality media, and you're willing to invest more, the LG could be the better choice. Give Feedback
