If you're on a budget and mainly involved in casual gaming or digital photo editing, the Gigabyte G24F-2 with its good refresh rate and strong color accuracy for sRGB content can offer a solid experience. However, for a premium, the MSI 45GS96QB will provide a more immersive experience due to its larger screen size and superior contrast, making it excellent for HDR gaming and media consumption, as well as for tasks demanding accurate P3 and AdobeRGB color reproduction. The MSI's wider screen and vivid colors are a big draw for creative professionals and serious gamers, but at a significantly higher cost. Give Feedback
