If you prioritize high refresh rates and value for money for gaming, the AOC AG276QZD excels, particularly in fast-paced games, but isn't ideal for high-precision editing work. Alternatively, the Asus PA27DCE is more expensive but offers superior resolution and is better suited for professional photo editing and media consumption, although its lower refresh rate may be less smooth for gaming. Choose the AOC for a more gaming-focused experience or the Asus if you're into detailed creative work and can stretch your budget. Give Feedback
