If excellent image clarity, color accuracy, and higher resolution are important for tasks like photo editing or enjoying HDR content, the Innocn 27M2V is a better choice, despite its higher price. It's well-suited for HDR gaming and media consumption. However, if budget is a major concern and you mainly engage in casual or competitive gaming, the Lenovo G24-20 offers a solid experience at a lower resolution with adequate performance for those uses. Keep in mind that its image quality and color performance won't match the Innocn, making it less ideal for productivity tasks that require precise color representation. Give Feedback

How the Innocn 27M2V (IPS MiniLED) and the Lenovo G24-20 (IPS) compare to other monitors
"Thanks to the wide color gamut, games and videos will look even more vibrant than the standard wide gamut displays (such as LG’s Nano IPS with 98% DCI-P3 and ~90% Adobe RGB, for instance), especially when it comes to blue, cyan and green shades. All in all, if you want a 27″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with a mini LED FALD backlight, the Innocn 27M2V is currently the best model available."
