The Lenovo G24-20 offers a budget-friendly option with a smaller screen and lower resolution, which is adequate for casual gaming and general use. The high refresh rate and good response time also make it suitable for competitive gaming on a budget. However, if you desire a larger display with higher resolution for sharper images, improved text clarity, and more vivid colors for tasks like digital photo editing, the LG 27GP83B is a better choice. The LG model's superior performance in clarity and color accuracy suits productivity and media consumption better, but this comes at a higher price point. Keep in mind that both monitors have IPS panels, providing good viewing angles and color performance. Give Feedback
