If you're on a budget and enjoy casual gaming, the Lenovo G24-20 with its high refresh rate and good response time is a solid choice, especially if you're playing on a 24-inch screen. However, if you're willing to invest in a larger display for a more immersive experience in gaming and media, and prioritize image quality with deeper blacks and brighter colors, the Samsung S43CG70 may be worth the premium. It's also more suitable for HDR gaming and has a higher resolution, which is better for media consumption, though its larger size and higher price point could be significant considerations.
