If you're a competitive gamer seeking the smoothest experience with less motion blur, the Asus PG34WCDM with its higher refresh capabilities and specific gaming features is a strong choice, albeit at a higher cost. The curved widescreen also offers a more immersive experience for casual gaming and media consumption. However, the Innocn 27M2U, while cheaper, offers better clarity and is suitable for tasks like photo editing and watching HDR content due to its high resolution and color accuracy. It's not as well-suited for competitive gaming, but for productivity or media enjoyment, it's a cost-effective option with great performance. Give Feedback

Forbes
Mark Sparrow | November 2022
"The Innocn 27MU2 screen isn’t built to Apple standards, but it’s robust enough for desktop use and surprisingly lightweight, considering its image quality. The stand is rock steady and adjustable, plus the screen can be wall mounted. There are plenty of input options plus the ability to display two sources on screen at the same time."
