If you prioritize a balance between cost and performance for both casual and competitive gaming, the Asus XB273U F (IPS) with its high refresh rate and good response time would serve you well at a lower price point. It's also suitable for digital and print photo editing due to accurate colors. On the other hand, the Samsung S49AG95 Odyssey Neo G9 offers an immersive ultra-wide display ideal for media consumption and multitasking in productivity, but it requires a higher investment. Although the Samsung excels in color volume and has superior HDR capabilities, it may not justify the higher cost if your focus is primarily on gaming and photo editing. Give Feedback
