If you prioritize immersive gaming with deep blacks and are okay with a less sharp image, the AOC AG456UCZD's larger curved screen and OLED technology might be worth the higher cost. However, it's not suited for high-detail tasks like digital photo editing due to poorer text and image clarity. On the other hand, if you need a monitor for productivity and crisp visuals for digital photo editing, the Innocn 27M2V's higher resolution and excellent color accuracy at a more affordable price will serve you better, although it may not match the gaming performance of the AOC in terms of contrast and motion handling.

Display Ninja
Rob Shafer | January 2024
"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."
