If you're on a budget and focused on casual or competitive gaming, the Gigabyte G24F-2 with its good refresh rate and response time will provide a smoother experience. However, you'll be sacrificing image clarity and workspace due to its lower screen resolution and size. The LG DualUp, on the other hand, offers a unique vertical screen setup and higher resolution, making it better for productivity tasks like coding or document editing, and its superior color depth and gamut support make it suitable for digital photo editing. It's not ideal for gaming due to its lower refresh rate and lack of variable refresh rate support. If your priority is gaming and price, go for the Gigabyte; if productivity and editing are your main concerns and budget is less of an issue, the LG DualUp could serve you better. Give Feedback
