Can’t decide between monitor

Dear all,
I have been looking for a monitor to replace my old monitor and have come to two and can’t choose between them.
They are the Gigabyte G24F-2 and the LG Ultragear 24GN60R-B. The G24F2 is only available through overclockers for £170 whilst the 24GN60R-B has suddenly got a massive deal of from £199 to £129 on a different site. I know that the G24F2 is better but is the save in money worth the small amount of missed performance. I’m also playing fast paced games such as valorant where I need the extra hertz to see enemies where the G24F2 is in favour.
So should I get the much cheaper 24GN60R-B and save some money for something else for the setup or go for the slightly better G24F2?
Thanks

Hi,

You will need to remove the name of competitors to Overclockers it in the forum rules

The gigabyte is a higher refresh rate and more inputs , below is a comparison.

Gigabyte G24F 2 24" vs LG UltraGear 24GN600-B 23.8": What is the difference?

What is the difference between LG UltraGear 24GN600-B 23.8" and Gigabyte G24F 2 24"? Find out which is better and their overall performance in the monitor ranking.

I didn’t know about that.
I know that the Gigabyte is better but I can save around £40 by getting the slightly worse LG. So is it worth the save or should I stick with the Gigabyte?

I actually have the monitor you're talking about, the LG. It comes with 1 hdmi and 1 display port. And input for headphones.

If you use CRU you can even set the monitor 2560x1440 at 75hz but yeah it's a decent high refresh rate monitor for the price. But there's nothing that impressive about it. Just does what it says and not much else. Just a nice cheap solution (in my case for geforce now)

I can't complain considering it cost me £149.99 anything more expensive and I'd rather commit to a premium product.

So if you just need the 144hz more than amazing colour accuracy etc then you'll be very happy with your purchase.

I ended up buying the G24F2 thanks for the help. It was a bit more expensive than the LG but I found out that it has a refresh rate that can be overclocked to 180hz. This is really helpful in my games.
Once again thanks for the help.

You made the right choice it's has a better contrast ratio as well, I'm sure you'll be happy.
 
I only have two more questions about it though.
Apparently when first starting up its sometimes has a more green look to things. Is this true and how can you fix it.
It also apparently sometimes has a coil whirr when overclocking it to 180hz.
Are both of these issues only found in the first G24F and are fixed in the second?
