If you're on a budget and primarily interested in casual and competitive gaming, the Lenovo G24-20 offers good performance at a lower cost, with a high refresh rate that will keep gameplay smooth. However, if you can invest more and are also interested in high-resolution media consumption and photo editing, the ViewSonic XG321UG with its sharper image quality and better color depth will be superior, though it may have more noticeable ghosting during fast-paced games. Neither are particularly well suited for HDR gaming or professional HDR video editing. Give Feedback
