If competitive gaming is your priority, choosing the Asus PG27AQN with its excellent refresh rate and response time will serve you well, but its lower resolution and size means less workspace and detail for tasks like photo editing. The Innocn 32M2V, with its superior resolution and MiniLED technology, offers fantastic color and brightness for HDR gaming and media, and is better suited for productivity and creative work like digital photo editing, though you'll compromise on gaming performance due to a lower refresh rate and response time. Consider what's more important to you: top-tier gaming specs or better media and work-related features. Give Feedback

IGN
Matthew Smith | March 2023
"The Asus ROG Swift PG27AQN is a motion clarity marvel. It’s the first 27-inch 1440p 360Hz monitor on the market, and also the first to use an Ultrafast IPS display. These advancements provide outstanding motion clarity across a broad range of refresh rates. Unfortunately, the monitor’s motion clarity does nothing for its image quality, which is just ok. To be clear, it’s a very nice looking monitor in many situations. However, the monitor’s contrast ratio is rather low. And while it can reach high levels of brightness in HDR, it lacks the nuance and contrast required to look great in HDR games."

"Whlie not perfect, the Innocn 32M2V is an excellent HDR gaming monitor if you want a 32″ 4K high refresh rate display – just make sure you’re familiar with all its flaws. If you’ve been waiting for a 32″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with proper HDR support, the Innocn 32M2V is the first model available at a reasonable price."
