If you're on a tight budget and mainly engage in casual or competitive gaming, the Lenovo G24-20 (IPS) with its high refresh rate and low response time offers a solid experience. However, if you're willing to invest more for superior image quality, deeper blacks, and more vibrant colors for both gaming and media consumption, the Pixio PX277 OLED Max would be a significant upgrade, especially for HDR content. The Pixio is also better suited for digital photo and video editing due to its higher color accuracy and range. Keep in mind, though, that for productivity tasks where text quality and image clarity are key, the Lenovo's performance is adequate and more cost-efficient. Give Feedback
