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.

How the AOC AG456UCZD (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."
