If you prioritize a top-tier gaming experience with exceptional image clarity, deep blacks, and vibrant colors, the Asus PG32UCDM (QD-OLED) is an outstanding option, and it's well-suited for HDR gaming and media consumption. However, for those who are more price-conscious and still want a quality gaming monitor with good color accuracy for productivity and casual gaming, the LG 27GP83B (IPS) is a more budget-friendly choice with decent performance but less impressive HDR capabilities. Keep in mind that the improved contrast and color of the Asus come at a premium, while the LG offers solid value with compromises in peak brightness and contrast. Give Feedback
