The Nubia RedMagic GM001J with its 4K resolution and MiniLED technology offers stunning visual clarity and vibrant colors, making it excellent for HDR gaming and media consumption. Its higher price reflects this premium experience. On the other hand, the ViewSonic XG2431 is more wallet-friendly and has a high refresh rate, which is ideal for competitive gaming. However, it has a lower resolution and lesser color performance, so it isn't as suitable for tasks requiring high color accuracy or for enjoying HDR content. Choose the RedMagic if you prioritize immersive visual experiences and can invest more, or opt for the ViewSonic if competitive gaming and budget are your main concerns. Give Feedback
