If you prioritize a wide, immersive display and are willing to pay a premium for it, the Asus monitor might be the right fit, especially for engaging gaming and media with its larger screen. However, the LG monitor offers a good balance of features for gaming with a lesser financial commitment. Both are poor performers for productivity tasks due to limited brightness and contrast, but if you're an avid gamer, the fast response times and high refresh rates of both will enhance your gaming experience. Neither is ideal for serious photo or video editing, so keep that in mind if that's a requirement for you. Give Feedback

How the Asus PG34WCDM (W-OLED) and the LG 27GR95QE (W-OLED) compare to other monitors
"The LG 27GR95QE-B is a stellar display that makes 1440p again the PC gaming sweet spot due to its high 240Hz refresh rate and fantastic latency. However, its low overall brightness and lack of onboard settings keep it from being great."
