If you prioritize immersive gaming with deeper colors and wider display, the Asus monitor, with its larger curved screen and superior OLED technology, will suit you despite its higher price. Conversely, the LG offers a more cost-effective solution with a smaller screen suited for everyday use and gaming. It has a high refresh rate good for fast-paced games but may not match the Asus in color accuracy or contrast. For tasks like digital photo editing, the Asus excels due to its color fidelity. However, if desk space and budget are concerns, the LG model provides a balance of good performance and affordability. Give Feedback
