If budget is a major concern and you primarily engage in casual and competitive gaming, the Lenovo G24-20 (IPS) is a solid choice, offering good performance without a heavy investment. However, if you're looking for a premium experience with exceptional image clarity, color quality, and wider screen real estate for immersive gaming and media consumption, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 G85SB (QD-OLED) is a significant upgrade, albeit at a higher price. Its superior brightness, contrast, and color accuracy also make it suitable for creative tasks like digital photo editing, although it may not be the best choice for productivity due to its aspect ratio and curve.
