If your priority is to stay on budget and you mainly engage in casual gaming, the Lenovo G24-20 (IPS) will serve you well. However, if you're after a premium experience with sharper images for professional photo editing, HDR content, and immersive gaming at higher resolutions, and willing to invest more, the MSI MAG 321UPX (QD-OLED) is unparalleled. The MSI also excels in competitive gaming due to its exceptional color and low response time but remember, this comes at a higher price point. Keep in mind that for general productivity, both will perform adequately, but the MSI's larger screen and higher resolution might offer a more comfortable viewing. Give Feedback
