If you prioritize high-quality HDR gaming and media consumption, and require a monitor with exceptional color depth and contrast for digital photo editing, the Asus PG27AQDM (W-OLED) is a strong choice despite its higher price. It offers excellent overall image quality, and the high peak brightness enhances HDR content. However, if competitive gaming is key for you, you might appreciate the KTC G27P6 (W-OLED) which also performs well with a lower price point, but it doesn't match the Asus in HDR performance or overall media consumption experience. Both have similar refresh rates for smooth gameplay, but the Asus may offer a better balance for mixed usage. Give Feedback
