If you're focused on competitive gaming, you might favor the Asus monitor, as it has a top-tier refresh rate and response time that minimize motion blur and ghosting, essential for fast-paced games. However, if you want deeper blacks and more vibrant colors for HDR gaming and media consumption, the LG's OLED panel is superior. For tasks like digital photo editing, the Asus stands out with its excellent color accuracy across different color spaces. The LG will save you money while still delivering high performance for gaming and watching videos, but for precise color work and high-level competitive gaming, the Asus could be worth the extra investment.

Jorge Jimenez | March 2023
"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."
