If you prioritize high dynamic range (HDR) gaming and media consumption, the Asus PG27AQDM (W-OLED) with its higher HDR peak brightness would serve you better, while its lower static contrast and brightness may not excel in a brightly lit environment. The ViewSonic VX2776 2K OLED (W-OLED), with its superior color gamut, is more suitable for digital photo editing, particularly for print, but its HDR capabilities are not specified which could limit its performance for HDR content. For competitive gaming, both monitors offer high refresh rates and very good response times; however, the Asus might have a slight edge with a higher very good rating. If you're considering connectivity and energy, the ViewSonic also offers more USB ports with power delivery. Choose the Asus for a generally better HDR experience at a somewhat less expensive price point, or the ViewSonic for its photo editing prowess and USB connectivity, if you're okay with its often somewhat more expensive price.
