If high-quality visuals for HDR gaming and media consumption are a priority, the Asus PG27AQDM with its superior contrast and color depth will deliver an excellent experience, but at a premium price. The LG 34WQ75C, with its wider screen and aspect ratio, might be better suited for multitasking and productivity at a more budget-friendly cost, though its performance for gaming and high dynamic range content won't match the Asus. Casual gamers and those who value screen real estate for work might lean towards the LG, while serious gamers and multimedia enthusiasts who place a premium on visual fidelity and can invest more may prefer the Asus.
