If image sharpness for activities like digital photo editing is a priority, the Asus PA279CRV with its higher resolution will be more suitable, albeit at a higher price. However, for fast-paced gaming, the LG 27GP83B, which is less expensive, offers a higher refresh rate and faster response time, reducing motion blur and providing a smoother experience. The LG's screen may not be as crisp for graphic work due to its lower resolution, but it excels in gaming performance. Neither monitor is ideal for HDR gaming or media consumption, so if that is a significant part of your use case, you might want to look at other options. Give Feedback
