If you prioritize high-end performance in competitive gaming with a faster refresh rate and a very good response time, and are also looking for excellent color accuracy for professional photo and video editing, you'll find the Pixio PX277 OLED Max to be a suitable option, but it might not perform as well in tasks that demand higher screen resolution, such as detailed 4K work. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest in premium display quality with superior resolution for productivity and media consumption, and want a monitor that's particularly good for HDR gaming, the LG 27EP950 offers very good clarity and color depth for these purposes, though it comes at a higher price and won't match the gaming performance of the Pixio.
