If you're a serious competitive gamer looking for the smoothest experience with premium image quality and aren't concerned about cost, the AOC AG456UCZD's higher refresh rate and superior contrast may be worth the investment. However, if your priority is a balance between gaming, productivity, and not spending as much, the LG 27GP83B will offer good gaming performance and clarity at a more affordable price. The LG is also quite competent for digital photo editing with a high color accuracy, whereas the AOC excels in HDR gaming and media because of its vivid color range and excellent contrast, but won't perform as well in text clarity which might affect productivity tasks.
