If you're focused on top-notch gaming performance with deeper blacks and vivid colors, and prefer a larger screen for immersive experiences, the Asus PG32UCDM QD-OLED is an excellent option, though it's more costly. However, for high refresh rate gaming at a more budget-friendly price with still excellent color quality, the ViewSonic XG272 2K OLED would be a great pick, especially if you're okay with a slightly smaller display. Both are suitable for HDR gaming and have similar high color accuracy which is good for photo editing. The main difference is the price and screen size, with the Asus offering a bit more screen real estate. Give Feedback
