If you prioritize a more immersive gaming experience with smoother action, deeper blacks, and higher contrast, and are willing to pay for premium features, the LG monitor with its OLED panel is an excellent choice for both gaming and HDR content. However, for tasks that require accurate color representation like digital photo editing, the Asus monitor is a solid performer and will be more budget-friendly. Keep in mind that while the LG excels in overall gaming performance, its text clarity and brightness for productivity tasks are not as strong as what the Asus offers. If cost and sharp text for productivity are more important to you than the gaming advantages of the LG, then the Asus might be the better pick. Give Feedback
