If you're looking for a monitor mainly for casual or competitive gaming on a budget, the Lenovo G24-20 offers a good experience with a quick response time and supports variable refresh rates to reduce screen tearing. However, if you need a wider screen for multitasking and better text and image clarity for productivity, the LG 34WQ73A, with its larger size and higher resolution, could be worth the extra investment. Bear in mind, though, the LG's higher price might not justify its performance for gaming, as it has a lower refresh rate and does not support variable refresh rates, which are typically important for smooth gameplay.
