If you prioritize digital photo editing, the Asus PA279CV's high color accuracy makes it suitable for tasks that involve precise colors, such as print photo editing. On the other hand, the LG 27GP83B offers a higher refresh rate and a wider variable refresh rate range, making it a better choice for competitive gaming due to smoother and more responsive gameplay. However, for casual gaming or media consumption, both monitors offer good capabilities but the LG, with its faster response time, might edge out slightly in motion handling. Neither of these monitors is particularly well-suited for HDR gaming and media consumption, as their peak brightness and contrast are not particularly high. If you're using the monitor for productivity, the Asus with its higher resolution might offer sharper text and more screen real estate. Give Feedback

"Asus’ ProArt PA279CV is a sensible choice for content creators who want a color accurate 4K monitor but don’t want to clean out their savings account. It edges out alternatives like the BenQ PD2720U and Dell S2722QC in brightness and contrast without giving up ground on connectivity or menu options."

"The LG 27GP83B-B offers today’s sweet spot in gaming specs and capabilities in a well-designed premium package. It’s the first 1440p upgrade over the previous releases such as the LG 27GL83A-B with improvements in image quality thanks to its Nano IPS panel."
