If you're on a budget and mainly interested in casual or even competitive gaming, the Gigabyte G24F-2 offers a good experience with a high refresh rate and decent size for gaming, but it has limited peak brightness and color gamut, which makes it less ideal for HDR gaming or professional photo editing. On the other hand, the ViewSonic XG321UG boasts a larger screen with higher resolution and better color depth, making it great for productivity and media consumption, but its higher price and lower refresh rate make it less optimal for competitive gaming, even though it can still handle casual gaming well. If HDR content and detailed image work are important to you, and you don't mind the expense, the ViewSonic may be the better choice, while the Gigabyte is more cost-effective for gaming-focused users who can forego top-tier image quality.
