If competitive gaming is your main concern, the Asus XB273U F with its higher refresh rate and quick response time offers an excellent experience at a lower cost; it’s also suitable for digital and print photo editing with its accurate colors. But if you're after a stunning visual experience, particularly for HDR gaming and media consumption, the LG 32GS95UE with an OLED panel provides infinite contrast and vibrant colors on a 4K screen, although you’ll pay more for these premium features. Keep in mind, for productivity or reading text, both monitors are adequate but the higher resolution of the LG might be preferable for those tasks. Give Feedback
