If you prioritize competitive gaming and have a larger budget, the Innocn 27G1S offers a larger screen and higher refresh rate which can provide a smoother gaming experience. However, its overall image quality and color performance are not ideal for serious HDR gaming or high-end media consumption. On the other hand, the Lenovo G24-20 is more affordable and while it has a smaller screen and lower refresh rate, making it less suited for competitive gaming, it features an IPS panel which generally offers better color accuracy and viewing angles, better suited for productivity and casual gaming. Neither monitor excels in HDR video editing or print photo editing due to their limited color performance and brightness. Give Feedback
