If you prioritize high-level competitive gaming and want the best responsiveness, the ViewSonic XG2431 is an excellent choice at a lower cost. However, the Asus XB273U F offers a larger screen and higher resolution, which are better for a sharper image and more immersive gaming and media experience. The Asus also has superior color accuracy, making it suitable for digital photo editing. That said, neither is ideal for HDR video editing or gaming. The choice comes down to whether the advantages offered by the Asus, like size and resolution, are worth the higher price to you compared to the ViewSonic's focus on competitive gaming performance.
