If you prioritize high-quality visuals for HDR gaming, media consumption, or digital photo editing, the Asus PA27DCE with its superior image clarity and color accuracy may be a great choice despite its higher cost. However, if you're a competitive gamer looking for fast response times and a high refresh rate without spending as much, the LG 27GR95QE will serve you better. It's also a suitable option for casual gaming and media consumption. Both monitors offer excellent color depth and contrast thanks to their OLED panels, but the Asus is more tailored for professional creative work, while the LG caters more towards gaming.

How the Asus PA27DCE (W-OLED) and the LG 27GR95QE (W-OLED) compare to other monitors
"The LG 27GR95QE-B is a stellar display that makes 1440p again the PC gaming sweet spot due to its high 240Hz refresh rate and fantastic latency. However, its low overall brightness and lack of onboard settings keep it from being great."
