If you prioritize competitive gaming and want the immersive experience of a very wide screen, the AOC AG456UCZD with its larger display and higher refresh rate would suit you better, but the higher price and poorer productivity and media consumption capabilities might be drawbacks. On the other hand, the Phillips 27E1N8900 offers better image clarity, is less expensive, and while not as competitive for gaming, is more versatile for media consumption and productivity, making it a solid choice if you're looking for a balanced monitor for various tasks without stretching your budget as much.
