If you prioritize high image quality with perfect blacks for HDR gaming and media, then the premium-priced Asus PG27AQDM with its OLED panel is an excellent choice but note that it may underperform in productivity due to lower resolution and peak brightness. Conversely, the Innocn 27M2V is generally less expensive and offers higher resolution for detailed work and better productivity experience, but its contrast isn't as high as the Asus's, which might be less appealing for HDR content. Both are suitable for casual and competitive gaming, but for print photo editing, the Innocn has the edge due to its color accuracy across wider color gamuts. Give Feedback

"It’s hard to find any fault with the Asus ROG Swift PG27AQDM. Yes it’s expensive, but it’s incredibly good. With a stunning image and next-level video performance, it’s one of the very best gaming monitors I’ve ever reviewed."

Display Ninja
Rob Shafer | January 2024
"Thanks to the wide color gamut, games and videos will look even more vibrant than the standard wide gamut displays (such as LG’s Nano IPS with 98% DCI-P3 and ~90% Adobe RGB, for instance), especially when it comes to blue, cyan and green shades. All in all, if you want a 27″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with a mini LED FALD backlight, the Innocn 27M2V is currently the best model available."
