If you prioritize a smoother gaming experience and competitive play, the Asus PG27AQDM's higher refresh rate and superior response times make it a better choice. However, for work involving high-resolution digital photo editing or enjoying movies in 4K, the Innocn 32Q1U, with its larger screen and higher resolution, will be more suitable despite its lower refresh rate and response times. Keep in mind, the Asus has a smaller screen size, which might affect multitasking and immersive experiences, while the Innocn might not be as optimal for fast-paced gaming due to its performance in refresh rate and response time.
