If you're on a tighter budget but want a monitor that excels in both gaming, particularly casual and competitive gaming, and media consumption, the Nubia RedMagic GM001J with its MiniLED panel provides excellent brightness and good color volume, making for vivid HDR content viewing. Despite its lower price, it still offers a high refresh rate and comprehensive color gamut coverage, making it suitable for HDR video editing as well. In contrast, the Sony M9 is a higher-priced option with strengths in productivity and good media consumption capabilities but doesn't match the Nubia's performance in gaming, particularly in competitive scenarios. Choose the Nubia RedMagic if gaming and cost efficiency are top priorities, whereas the Sony M9 may be more appealing if productivity and a slight edge in image clarity are valued more. Give Feedback
