If you're looking for a monitor that provides a strong gaming performance with a high contrast ratio and good colors for photo editing, the Asus PG27AQDM might be a great choice. It's also less expensive compared to the LG 45GR95QE-B, but the LG offers a larger screen and a more immersive ultrawide experience which might be preferable for productivity and media consumption, despite it having a lower text quality. Both monitors are well-suited for HDR gaming, but if budget is a concern and you prefer traditional screen dimensions, the Asus might be the better option. However, if an expansive display for multitasking and an immersive field of view in games are more important to you, and you're willing to spend more, then consider the LG. Give Feedback
