If you prioritize high-resolution, clear images, and color accuracy for tasks like HDR video editing or print photo editing, the Innocn 27M2U with its vibrant display and better brightness is an excellent choice, despite its higher price. It's also good for HDR gaming and media consumption. However, if you're looking for an affordable monitor mainly for casual or competitive gaming with a higher refresh rate for smoother motion, the Lenovo G24-20 would be more suitable due to its good refresh rate and low response time, although it sacrifices image clarity and color performance. The Innocn won't be as suitable for fast-paced gaming due to its lower refresh rate and higher response time. Give Feedback

Forbes
Mark Sparrow | November 2022
"The Innocn 27MU2 screen isn’t built to Apple standards, but it’s robust enough for desktop use and surprisingly lightweight, considering its image quality. The stand is rock steady and adjustable, plus the screen can be wall mounted. There are plenty of input options plus the ability to display two sources on screen at the same time."
