If you're on a budget and mostly engage in casual gaming or need a monitor for everyday productivity tasks, the Gigabyte G24F-2 offers a sufficient experience at a low cost. For competitive gamers or those who prioritize high-quality visuals for HDR gaming and media consumption, the LG 27GS95QE with its superior color depth and contrast is a great choice, though it comes at a higher price. The LG's wider color gamut also makes it suitable for tasks that require color accuracy, such as digital photo editing. However, if you need a monitor specifically for intensive HDR video editing or printing photo editing, the Gigabyte may not meet your needs despite its affordability. Give Feedback
