If you prioritize higher brightness and don't mind spending more, the LG 27GR95QL could enhance your HDR gaming and media experience. However, if USB ports and power delivery are essential for connectivity and charging devices, the ViewSonic XG272 offers more USB ports and USB power delivery while costing less. Both monitors will deliver excellent contrast and color depth for gaming and content consumption, but the LG's lower brightness might not suit all HDR content as well as the ViewSonic. For competitive gaming, both are strong choices with their fast response times and high refresh rates. Give Feedback
