The Gigabyte G24F-2 is a budget-friendly option that's good for casual and competitive gaming with its adequate refresh rate. If gaming and keeping costs down are your priorities, it's a viable choice. On the other hand, the LG 32GQ950 offers a higher resolution and bigger screen size, which enhances productivity and media consumption; however, it comes at a premium price. It also supports a wide color gamut, making it better for digital photo editing. Its higher contrast and brightness levels would enhance the viewing experience, although it's not as well-suited for HDR gaming or video editing. If you prioritize a richer, more detailed display and more screen real estate for multitasking and you're comfortable with a higher investment, the LG might be the better option. Give Feedback
