The LG 27GR95QL (W-OLED) offers exceptional contrast, brightness, and is well-suited for HDR gaming and media consumption with its high refresh rate, making it an excellent choice for competitive gamers seeking smooth visuals and high performance. However, its higher price reflects these premium features. On the other hand, the LG DualUp 28MQ780 (IPS) is better for productivity with its unique screen resolution and aspect ratio, at a noticeably lower cost. Its color accuracy is suitable for digital photo editing, but its lower refresh rate is less ideal for gaming. If budget is a concern and your focus is on productivity and photo editing, the DualUp may be the better option, while the 27GR95QL is geared towards an immersive gaming experience at a premium cost.
