If competitive gaming is a priority, the Asus XB273U F with its higher refresh rates and response time will provide smoother gameplay, making it a superior choice. However, if you're looking for an immersive experience in gaming and media with a wider screen, the LG 34GP83A's ultrawide aspect ratio could be more appealing despite its lower refresh rate. For productivity tasks requiring accurate colors, such as digital photo editing, both monitors offer good performance, but the Asus has a slight edge. Keep in mind, the premium price of the Asus is for its gaming prowess, while the LG offers a broader screen real estate for less money, which might be more beneficial for multitasking and enjoying movies.
