If you're focused on high-quality HDR gaming and media consumption without breaking the bank, the Asus PG27AQDM offers a strong experience at a lower cost than the LG 39GS95QE. However, if you're also interested in productivity or print photo editing, and don't mind investing more, the LG's larger screen and appropriate features could be more beneficial. The LG also has a wider screen format which might enhance your immersive experience in gaming and watching videos, but it may not be as vibrant in HDR performance as the Asus. If competitive gaming is key, both offer high refresh rates, but keep in mind the Asus has better response time, meaning less motion blur during fast-paced games. Give Feedback
