If you're on a budget and primarily engage in casual gaming or productivity tasks, the Gigabyte G24F-2 (IPS) is a cost-effective choice that offers good gaming performance and suitable digital photo editing capabilities. However, if you want a monitor with exceptional color quality for HDR gaming, media consumption, HDR video editing, and print photo editing, and are willing to pay a premium, the MSI MAG 321UPX (QD-OLED) with its superior contrast, brightness, and color volume is the better option. The MSI also has a larger screen and higher resolution, which enhances gaming and media experiences but comes at a higher price. Give Feedback
