If budget is a primary concern and you enjoy casual gaming or need a monitor for everyday productivity, the Gigabyte G24F-2 (IPS) offers a good balance of price and performance with a reasonable refresh rate and size for gaming. However, if you're willing to invest more for a vastly superior visual experience, especially for HDR gaming, media consumption, and color-sensitive tasks like photo editing, the Phillips 27E1N8900 (W-OLED) with its better image clarity, higher resolution, and outstanding contrast will be a significant upgrade, though it's not as suited for competitive gaming due to a lower refresh rate.
