If you're on a budget and primarily into casual or competitive gaming, the Lenovo G24-20 with its high refresh rate and good gaming performance could be a solid choice. However, if you're willing to invest more for an immersive experience with a larger, ultrawide screen that benefits both productivity and media consumption, then the LG 34GP83A might be the right pick, despite its higher price. The LG also offers a wider color gamut and better image clarity which can be an advantage for digital photo editing, although neither monitor is ideal for professional color work like HDR video editing.
