If you prioritize high-resolution work or entertainment and are willing to invest in a higher-priced option, the Innocn 27M2V with its MiniLED panel offers excellent color and brightness, making it suitable for HDR gaming and detailed digital photo editing. It excels in productivity and media consumption with its larger screen and clearer image. On the other hand, for those focused on competitive gaming and seeking to save money, the ViewSonic XG2431 offers a high refresh rate and responsive gameplay at a lower price, but with lower resolution and screen size, which may not be as suitable for productivity or high-quality media consumption.

Display Ninja
Rob Shafer | January 2024
"Thanks to the wide color gamut, games and videos will look even more vibrant than the standard wide gamut displays (such as LG’s Nano IPS with 98% DCI-P3 and ~90% Adobe RGB, for instance), especially when it comes to blue, cyan and green shades. All in all, if you want a 27″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with a mini LED FALD backlight, the Innocn 27M2V is currently the best model available."
