If high-end gaming and HDR content are priorities, the Asus monitor excels with superior contrast and color depth, making it ideal for immersive experiences. It also offers a higher refresh rate for smoother gameplay, but it falls short in productivity due to its lower image clarity. However, if your focus is on work and you want a larger, more unique screen without spending as much, the LG monitor provides a taller aspect ratio and good image clarity at a lower price, though it's not as suited for competitive gaming or high-quality HDR media.
