AOC C24G42E vs Lenovo Legion 27-10

Both sit in the same price bracket, so the question is not which is better but which suits you. Below are the real differences, then who each one is for.

The differences that matter

• Smoothness: the Lenovo Legion 27-10 runs at 240 Hz and the AOC C24G42E at 180 Hz. That is 60 Hz apart, enough to notice when swinging the camera in fast shooters, provided your machine produces those frames.
• Panel type: Curved VA on the AOC C24G42E and IPS on the Lenovo Legion 27-10. This is the difference that changes most of what you see: it decides contrast and how much motion smears.
• Size: 27 inches against 23.8. At normal desk distance the larger one covers more field of view; the smaller one can be read whole without moving your eyes.
• Stand: the AOC C24G42E allows tilt only and the Lenovo Legion 27-10, height, tilt, swivel and pivot. If you will be at the desk for hours, this matters more than it looks.

Which one suits you

Specs side by side

Highlighted rows are where the two monitors differ. The ▲ mark points to the better value where one can be named objectively; on fields like panel type or size there is no «better», it depends on what you want.

Size, resolution, panel, refresh rate and response time are each checked against the manufacturer's listing on Amazon.es. Anything we could not confirm shows as “—”: we would rather leave a gap than invent a figure.
