If high-performance gaming, particularly in the competitive scene, is your priority and you can afford a premium price, the Asus PG34WCDM with its superb refresh rates and response times would be excellent. However, if you're looking for a balance between productivity, media consumption, and gaming at a more affordable price, the Innocn 27M2V strikes a good balance with its high-resolution screen and excellent color accuracy, making it versatile for both work and play. Keep in mind the Asus offers an ultrawide experience, which is immersive for gaming and useful for multitasking, but the Innocn is better suited for tasks requiring detailed color work. Give Feedback

Display Ninja
Rob Shafer | January 2024
"Thanks to the wide color gamut, games and videos will look even more vibrant than the standard wide gamut displays (such as LG’s Nano IPS with 98% DCI-P3 and ~90% Adobe RGB, for instance), especially when it comes to blue, cyan and green shades. All in all, if you want a 27″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with a mini LED FALD backlight, the Innocn 27M2V is currently the best model available."
