If you're on a budget and mainly interested in casual gaming or competitive gaming on a smaller screen, the Lenovo G24-20 (IPS) is a solid pick. However, if you're willing to pay a premium for a wider and more immersive display with better contrast and higher peak brightness that enhances not just gaming but also media consumption, the ViewSonic XG341C-2K (VA Mini LED) would be a better choice. The ViewSonic also offers a larger color gamut which makes it more suitable for tasks that demand color accuracy, like photo editing. Keep in mind, though, that the larger size and higher resolution of the ViewSonic may mean you'll need a more powerful computer to make the most of its capabilities for gaming. Give Feedback
