If budget is a concern and you prioritize high refresh rates for competitive gaming, the Asus XB273U F (IPS) is an attractive choice. However, if you are looking for an immersive experience with deeper blacks and better contrast for HDR content, especially in a wider screen format, the LG 39GS95QE (W-OLED) offers impressive visuals at a higher price point. Keep in mind, the Asus has features more tailored towards high frame rate gaming and photo editing, whereas the LG excels in media consumption and gaming in HDR due to its OLED panel. Give Feedback
