If you're conscious of your budget and prefer a smaller screen, the Asus PG27AQDM offers excellent gaming performance with good colors for photo editing, but isn't ideal for productivity or media consumption due to lower brightness and lower resolution. Alternatively, if you're okay with investing more for a larger and sharper display, the LG 32GS95UE provides a superior experience for media consumption and productivity with its higher resolution and size, and is also well-suited for print photo editing; however, its gaming performance may not be as strong as the Asus. Both monitors have OLED panels which offer deep blacks and great contrast for HDR content. Give Feedback
