If competitive gaming is your priority and you need higher refresh rates with minimal ghosting, the Asus XB273U F would be a better fit. On the other hand, if you're looking for a monitor with exceptional contrast and are interested in HDR gaming and media consumption, the ViewSonic VX2776 with its OLED panel offers superior image quality. The Asus may perform better for productivity due to its higher brightness, while the ViewSonic excels in color depth, making it suitable for photo editing and tasks demanding high color fidelity. Keep in mind, however, that OLED screens can have burn-in issues over time with static images. Give Feedback
