If you're on a budget and mainly engage in casual or competitive gaming, the Lenovo G24-20 would be a cost-effective choice with a good refresh rate and response time, which are important for gaming. However, its smaller screen and lower resolution might limit your immersion and workspace for productivity tasks. On the other hand, the LG 38WN95C, with its larger, higher-resolution screen and better color accuracy, is excellent for productivity and digital photo editing. It's also suitable for casual gaming, though not optimized for competitive gaming. The LG's wider color gamut support benefits media consumption but comes at a premium price. Give Feedback
