If you're on a budget and mostly participate in casual gaming or general productivity, the Gigabyte G24F-2 offers a smaller screen and lower resolution, which can suffice for everyday use and non-competitive gaming. However, if you are a competitive gamer looking for a larger screen, higher resolution, and better overall performance that can enhance your gaming experience, the LG 32GQ850 would be a better fit at a higher cost. Both monitors have IPS panels that provide good color accuracy for digital photo editing, but neither is ideal for HDR gaming or media consumption due to their limited peak brightness and color volume.
