If budget is a primary concern and your focus is on casual gaming and general productivity, the Lenovo G24-20 offers a cost-effective solution with a solid refresh rate for smooth gameplay. However, for a more immersive experience in competitive gaming, the LG 32GQ850's larger screen, higher resolution and significantly higher refresh rate make it the superior choice, though it comes at a higher cost. Neither monitor is ideal for HDR gaming or high-end video/photo editing, as they both have limited HDR peak brightness and color gamut coverage. If print photo editing or color-critical work is not a priority, the Lenovo could suffice, but the LG's larger color gamut may benefit digital photo editing despite its higher price. Give Feedback
