If your priority is casual gaming and budget-friendliness, the Lenovo G24-20 might suit your needs with its good competitive gaming performance and adjustability. However, if you're willing to invest in a monitor that excels in productivity, media consumption, and has better image clarity for HDR gaming and video editing, the Sony M9 is a premium option with a higher resolution, better color accuracy, and a wider color gamut. Keep in mind though, for competitive gaming, the Lenovo's faster response time could be more beneficial than Sony's higher resolution and color accuracy. It's important to weigh your specific needs against the cost difference between the two monitors. Give Feedback
