If you're focused on competitive gaming with a tighter budget, the AOC AG276QZD is a solid pick due to its combination of high refresh rate and fast response time at a lower cost. However, for a more immersive gaming and media experience, the Asus PG34WCDM, with its larger, ultrawide screen may be worth the higher price, though you'll sacrifice some casual gaming and productivity compared to the AOC. For high-resolution photo editing, both monitors perform similarly, but keep in mind the Asus might provide a bit more workspace due to its size. Give Feedback
