If you're on a budget and primarily engage in casual or competitive gaming, the Gigabyte G24F-2 (IPS) could be a great choice due to its high refresh rate and good responsiveness. However, for an immersive media consumption experience and top-notch color performance for professional photo and video editing, the more expensive MSI MPG 491CQP (QD-OLED), with its wider color gamut and superior contrast, would be significantly better. The MSI monitor's ultrawide screen is also more suitable for multitasking and productivity, though its lower pixels per inch may not be as sharp for text as the Gigabyte's smaller screen.
