If you prioritize higher HDR peak brightness and gaming performance, the LG 27GS95QE would be a solid choice, and it's a bit less expensive as well. However, if color accuracy for digital photo editing is more important to you and you don't mind investing a little more, the AOC AG276QZD might be the better option. Both monitors offer excellent refresh rates for smooth gameplay, but neither is ideal for productivity tasks due to their just fair text quality and image clarity. Give Feedback
