If you are focused on competitive gaming, the Asus XB273U F is an excellent choice with its high refresh rate and very good response times, reducing ghosting for a smooth experience. However, if your primary concern is productivity, especially tasks that benefit from a taller screen like coding or document editing, the LG DualUp with its unique aspect ratio offers more vertical screen real estate. When considering media consumption or casual gaming, both offer good color accuracy, but the Asus has a higher peak brightness which can be beneficial. For digital photo editing, either monitor serves well with great color coverage; the choice here would hinge more on your need for speed (gaming) or space (productivity). The premium price of the Asus reflects its gaming prowess, so if that's less important to you, you might favor the LG for its value in a productivity context. Give Feedback
