If you're on a budget and mainly into casual gaming, the Lenovo G24-20 presents a more affordable option while still providing a good gaming experience due to a decent refresh rate and response time. However, if you're into competitive gaming or require a larger screen and higher resolution for better image clarity and screen real estate for productivity tasks, the MSI G273QPF may justify the extra expense. The MSI also offers a slightly better color reproduction for digital photo editing but isn't optimal for HDR video editing or print photo editing. Neither monitor is ideal for serious HDR gaming and media consumption due to their limited HDR peak brightness. Give Feedback
