I truly cannot see any difference worth commenting upon. The second one has slightly denser shadows (I think) but that could easily just be difference in exposure as the aperture stops might not be spot on the same or the light transmission different for the two lenses. As one is 1.4 and the other 2 it is likely their optics are very different.

My take home message would be that if you've got one fast 23mm lens there isn't any point in buying another. Actually from reputable makers I think that applies to pretty much any focal length.

I apologize for incorrect question, what we see depends on our monitor; many people use their phones, so there is nothing to talk about other than personal experience with these lenses

I found another topic here about same question, but entirely different use case (all images processed in RAW converter first):

There are reasons to prefer f/2 lens:

it is smaller;

it is quiter;

it is better built

it is sharper

Viltrox is obviously F/1.4 lens, it is its main advantage. It is spherical design (no aspherical elements), so it is more vintage

I prefer Viltrox due to its color and light transitions rendering
