If you prioritize competitive gaming, the LG 27GS95QE with its faster response time and very good refresh rate will be excellent, although its lower resolution and contrast compared to the Nubia RedMagic may be drawbacks for productivity and media consumption. The Nubia, with its higher resolution and very good color gamut coverage, is better for productivity and HDR video editing but has a narrower variable refresh rate range, which might not be as smooth for gaming. If you're debating between the two and lean towards gaming, the LG could serve you better, while the Nubia might be the choice for those focused on image quality and professional tasks.
