If you're a competitive gamer looking for the best response times and very high refresh rates, the AOC AG276QZD with its OLED panel will offer you an edge with superior contrast and minimal ghosting. However, this monitor is not ideal for productivity due to its lower resolution. On the other hand, if you prioritize a higher resolution for clearer text and images in productivity and media consumption, the Innocn 27M2V with its 4K MiniLED display will provide sharper visuals and is also suitable for HDR gaming and print photo editing, although it has a lower refresh rate which is less optimal for competitive gaming.

How the AOC AG276QZD (W-OLED) and the Innocn 27M2V (IPS MiniLED) compare to other monitors
"Thanks to the wide color gamut, games and videos will look even more vibrant than the standard wide gamut displays (such as LG’s Nano IPS with 98% DCI-P3 and ~90% Adobe RGB, for instance), especially when it comes to blue, cyan and green shades. All in all, if you want a 27″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with a mini LED FALD backlight, the Innocn 27M2V is currently the best model available."
